;-) I got sure by other way. In kernel mode i red the whole page
directory. All kernel page dir entries ended with LSB == 0xe3.
7th bit on means 4M pages. 1 and 0 bits means respectively r/w and
present.
The point is that 6th bit is also 1 when it supposed to be 0
acording to Intel docs.
Excuse me all for this boring mails!
