Subject: loader modules jumping back to kernel
Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2008 01:06:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080719230622.GA17043@thorin> (raw)
Anyone recalls the reason our loaders had to jump back to kernel (startup.S) to
do the final part of the load?
IIRC this causes trouble when the loadee chose an address that precisely
overwrites the loader, which is garanteed to happen when GRUB is loading
itself, AFAICT.
