RE: Linux 2.6 from git.xilinx and XUPV2P

[greenlean <jmgomez@atc.ugr.es>]

I'm going to generate the kernel using the file generated by EDK, and if I
still have the same problem I'll tell you, maybe the problem is realted with
the xparamters configuration file, I don't want to waste your time. 

I think I should change my category from beginner to beginest .. :)

I'm not sure how to use objdump or better what to search in the elf file,
but I've used readelf to extract some info:

$ppc_4xx-readelf -h zImage.elf 
ELF Header:
  Magic:   7f 45 4c 46 01 02 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 
  Class:                             ELF32
  Data:                              2's complement, big endian
  Version:                           1 (current)
  OS/ABI:                            UNIX - System V
  ABI Version:                       0
  Type:                              EXEC (Executable file)
  Machine:                           PowerPC
  Version:                           0x1
  Entry point address:               0x400000
  Start of program headers:          52 (bytes into file)
  Start of section headers:          1048856 (bytes into file)
  Flags:                             0x0
  Size of this header:               52 (bytes)
  Size of program headers:           32 (bytes)
  Number of program headers:         2
  Size of section headers:           40 (bytes)
  Number of section headers:         17
  Section header string table index: 14

Everything seems to be fine..... I really don't know.
