------- Additional Comments From kris dot van dot hees at oracle dot com 2008-05-28 17:28 ------- I have the same problem (the kernel does not boot), however I do not get the difference in 'file' output for setup.bin as reported in this ticket. Using the 2.6.24 kernel sources and the most recent HEAD for binutils (CVS checkout), I got (as expected):
$ file setup.bin setup.bin: Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS, Normal VGA However, as I mention, the kernel does indeed fail to boot. It gets to the message (and nothing else): Uncompressing Linux... OK, booting the kernel. So, essentially the setup code does seem to execute fine, but when it actually is supposed to call into the kernel and start executing that code, things go very wrong. -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6407 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
