Subject: finding kernel jump address after "decompressing linux"
Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 08:05:34 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f837a0fa950d5d45d6b1e5e2969a25c3@basementcode.com> (raw)
I'm trying to figure out what physical address the kernel jumps to
after "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.". IIRC, there
are two parts to a kernel image, one compressed part and one
uncompressed. The uncompressed code decompresses the compressed part and
puts it into memory then jumps to it. I'm using an ARM kernel, version
2.6.38.
thanks,
Chris
