What do you need a section header for? Sections aren't really applicable to programs, just relocatable content. You should only need to care about Program Headers. > > + Added code to support non-MULTIBOOT ELF when IMAGE_ELF is selected but > IMAGE_MULTIBOOT is not.

I have patches for linux to add a syscall to boot ELF images, on both x86 & alpha. It would be nice if etherboot had a compatible format. I intend to start writing just what beyond the elf format will be needed to be compatible. Eric |
