Right now I have no exact clue but I suggest > you try changing the .coff wrapper in arch/ppc/boot of 2.4.20 > to what it was in 2.4.18 and tell me if that helps. vmlinux.coff built from 2.4.18, both vanilla and with Olaf's patch in http://penguinppc.org/~olaf/2.4.18/01_linux-2.4.18-rc4-lxppc_devel-0.diff.gz, boots Ok. However, 2.4.18 has the "excessively slow swim3 floppy writes" problem I mentioned earlier that 2.2.24 doesn't have. I also tried 2.4.20-ben8 with coffmain.c from 2.4.18 as you suggested, but it got the same CLAIM error as before. (hack-coff.c was unchanged and I didn't find anything else coff-related.) /Mikael ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
