I have made some small changes to the cvs copy of mknbi, that address some of the problems. At first glance it appears the problem is the assumptions about the state etherboot will leave the system in are two strong. It does not appear to be an etherboot problem. While looking I found one more fix for the e820 code now committed. You might want to play with: ftp://ftp.lnxi.com/pub/src/mkelfImage/mkelfImage-1.16.tar.gz I suspect etherboot 5.2 will require a new version of mknbi/mkelf. I think mkelf-linux will even fail if RELOCADDR is changed from 0x90000. Eric k |
