andreas, I have a question about this preloading: on my linux-PC will also run aVMware-GSX-system. I have tested it now for the last 1 1/2 days (with and without SUPER, with and without preloading, with the CK-kernel-patch and without it - so, many installs and many setups of all this systems and combinations .... smile). but it looks, that SUPER and SUPER + preloading will speed down the GSX-server, so that the VMs in there wouldn't run in the same propper way then without SUPER and / + preloading. I think the problem could be the amount of memory, and "where" (?) all the stuff will be put into it. so, what is what I have, and what I need: the PC has about 2 GB RAM, and the VMware-server needs about 1.2 GB RAM, for 2 Windows-boxes ( 512 MB for eatch, but they wouldn't run at the same time), and the rest for a SUSE9.3-box. the question is: is there any way to "tell" the system, how mutch of the RAM it can use, and maybe "where" or "what" peace of RAM it can use, so wthat other programs like VMware have no "trouble" ? thnaks, JBscout
