Re: [BProc] slave problems -- invalid image

[steven j. <py...@li...>]

Greetings,

I had missed the LinuxBIOS part when I first saw your message.
Which method are you using through LinuxBIOS?

It sounds like the problem is that LinuxBIOS wants an ELF image rather
than a beoboot formatted image.

In that case, you'll need to tell beoboot to generate seperate kernel and
ramdisk, then use mkelfImage to put them together.

G'day,
sjames
