- I believe the process table is a statically allocated table. In order to
- enlarge it you would have to shift everything after it in kernel memory
- over. But this will require that all pointers into the shifted memory, and
- all the addresses of these objects in /vmunix's symbol table, be updated.
- There is no way to perform all these fixups.
-
- You'll have to rebuild your kernel.
