Alternatively, it's possible to re-make it into an elf. This is the same problem as any other stage. Once you add it and pull it out it can't be added back w/ add-stage. It's not loaded like a stage, and to be honest I can't remember why I chose to use add-stage to begin with. I have a feeling I didn't want to change anything for relocatable ramstage in the Makefile so I did it like that. Then just did something similar. > Thanks, > > John. > > -- > coreboot mailing list: [email protected] > http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot >
