Address of loading ntoskrnl.exe [rus]

[mr.Che]

I know that ntdll and kernel32 loading constant addresses on a current computer.
Do ntoskrnl loading constant address on a current computer?

[dkg0414]

I suppose so.

Because ntldr is the one which loads ntoskrnl.exe.
that means ntldr has a PE parsing functionality and it does dyanamic linking of ntoskrnl and hal.dll

After that phase it is the responsibility of code present in ntokrnl.exe to dynamically link the other drivers which are getting loaded.
For this ntoskrnl.exe itself should know its base address.
