I'd like any thoughts you might have on a tutorial I added to the wiki on making a simple page frame allocator, http://wiki.osdev.org/Writing_A_Page_Fr ... The_Method. Suggestions, do I need to clear anything up?

What about freeing allocated pages when no more needed?

endkernel = .;

I think that

_endkernel = .;

is correct.

How about using a crosscompiler instead of "fixing" that? (or feed gcc with -fno-leading-underscores)
