Is the output of readelf -e on vmlinux decent? As much as I can tell, it is. Not that that means much from me. Jakub found the following that probably is a bug, but applying the patch doesn't help it boot: --- linux-2.6.0-test11/arch/ia64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S.foo 2003-12-04 17:16:36.000000000 -0500 +++ linux-2.6.0-test11/arch/ia64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S 2003-12-04 17:08:55.000000000 -0500 @@ -151,7 +151,7 @@ { *(.con_initcall.init) } __con_initcall_end = .; __security_initcall_start = .; - .security_initcall.init : AT(ADDR(.security_initcall.init) - PAGE_OFFSET) + .security_initcall.init : AT(ADDR(.security_initcall.init) - LOAD_OFFSET) { *(.security_initcall.init) } __security_initcall_end = .; . = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE); Bill
