Subject: aboot fixes for 2.6.23
Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2007 11:04:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070814180457.GA24179@twiddle.net> (raw)
Recent build changes have added a PT_NOTE entry to the kernel's
ELF header. A perfectly valid change, but Alpha's aboot loader
is none too bright about examining these headers.
The following patch to aboot-1.0_pre20040408.tar.bz2 makes it
so that only PT_LOAD entries are considered for loading, as well
as several other changes required to get the damned thing to
build again.
