Hello, I tried to boot with the vmlinuz kernel provided at http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/mactel-linux/trunk/misc/boot/ but EFI tells me it is not in a valid format (I don't have the exact message). I also tried file(1) on it and I have: $ file vmlinuz vmlinuz: data On a kernel I recompiled myself I have: $ file /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.20 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.20: Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS, root_dev 0x804, swap_dev 0x1, Normal VGA So I guess the file is not stored correctly. I compared vmlinuz and my vmlinuz-2.6.16.20 and noted that the text at the start of the file was not the same. The working kernel has 0d 0a as new line but the "corrupted" kernel only has 0a. I propose to correct the problem with something like (untested): $ svn propdel svn:eol-style vmlinuz See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s02.html Of course the initrd.gz file has the same problem and gunzip cannot decompress it. $ gunzip initrd.gz incomplete literal treeSee http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s02.html gunzip: initrd.gz: invalid compressed data--format violated Thanks -- Dr. Ludovic Rousseau |
