reserved memory areas
reserved memory areas
In protected mode are there reserved areas not to be used for another processes. For example Im using lfb pointer for screen drawings. I wonder if using video bios area(0xa0000-0xc0000) for another processes cause error, or is there a problem if I use the rom area(0xc0000-0xfffff)?

Re:reserved memory areas
physical memory mappings to ROM or devices (such as video memory) remains in pmode. You may not include those areas in your process' address space by not paging them, though.
