Hi Geert
That's not true. E.g. I/O memory is never mapped by mem_init().Why, then, does the ioremap() of ST-RAM fail? Because the physical address is lower than the lowest currently mapped physical address?I don't know. How does it fail?

I'll have to try that again with a fresh version that I can still correlate to a symbol map and object...
