Subject: Image generation for Efika is broken in 2.6.26
Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2008 10:38:31 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9e4733910806100738rac8e415x99f6e96715ebee90@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Why is my vmlinux.strip 3.2GB? Could a missing address be interpreted
as -1 (0xFFF..) and cause the image to contain all of memory?

-rw-r--r--  1 jonsmirl jonsmirl   61738015 2008-06-10 10:31 vmlinux.o
-rwxr-xr-x  1 jonsmirl jonsmirl 3224175192 2008-06-10 10:31 vmlinux.strip.3651

After it is packed vmlinux is 32MB. Packing gigabytes of zeros, maybe?

-rwxr-xr-x  1 jonsmirl jonsmirl 32430673 2008-06-10 10:31 vmlinux

This image won't load onto the Efika probably because it is trying to
expand back to 3.2GB.

With the same .config vmlinux is 4.1MB on 2.6.25

-rwxr-xr-x  1 jonsmirl jonsmirl 4119174 2008-06-09 20:09 vmlinux
