Hi ,
I am using Linux 2.4.20 Kernel. I am runing an application which will
malloc and returns a virtual memory address. I need to get the physical
memory address for that virtual memory address. How can I get that?
Thanks in advance,

There isn't one. You haven't allocated any physical memory, so the
kernel doesn't give you any.
