[Etherboot-users] Error: segment in reserved area

[Scott S. <ss...@aa...>]

Hi all,

I keep getting a "segment in reserved area" error when I generate
a NBI using mkelf-linux (v1.4.4) on my Fedora Core 4 system.

The frustrating thing is if I generate the NBI on my Redhat 9
system (mkelf-linux v1.4.3) the image boots just fine.

I tried --relocseg=0x8000 but the booting process aborted pretty
quickly (I forget what the error was, sorry).

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to be able to get around this
error & generate a working NBI with mkelf-linux v1.4.4?

I append the first few lines of output of the disnbi command
(for the 2 NBIs) in the hope that it might be useful:

Any help would be muchly appreciated.
