acpi crashes, maybe /dev/mem is buggy?

[Andrea Monaco]

Hello,


as I said some time ago, my acpi server always crashes when I start it,
while parsing ACPI tables.

I found out that the XSDT table, the second one that is inspected, is
supposedly at physical address 0x9cfd1188, which is quite high.  When I
inspect that address on GNU/Linux in /dev/mem, I see the string "XSDT"
as expected; on Hurd I see zeros and then garbage.

Maybe gnumach writes at that address at some point?  Or it's an issue
with the /dev/mem driver?  I can't locate it inside gnumach.



Warmly,

Andrea Monaco
