+# Additional notes
+## Accessing Vkernels memory
+For those using HEAD, some changes in libkvm have been introduced so vkernel's memory can be accessed directly now on /proc/$pid/mem.  
+
+Among other things, you can have a look at vkernel's process list using ps:

+    # ps axl -M /proc/829/mem -N /var/vkernel/boot/kernel

 ## Gdb + vkernel issues
 gdb and vkernel (SMP or not) don't play well together anymore.  It is possible to get into
 a state where the vkernel is in state "stop" and the vkernel is in "wait", and nothing moves on.
