Hi, Can some one explain the following comment I found in entry.S for alpha /* Also, for the kernel fork, we need to fake the system call * stack buildup, as we can't do system calls from kernel space. */ Why can't we do system call from the kernel space for alpha ? -aneesh -- "Open Source - Nature's way of doing things" "Open Source - Method of achieving high reliability and quality" - I don't know who said this. :)
