The revised summary is: loading text loading syms boot 1) OK OK OK 2a) "readin failed" - - 2b) OK "skipped!" OK 2c) OK "skipped!" OK 3a) OK OK OK 3b) OK OK OK 3c) OK OK OK So, the case 2c shows that your patch solves the problem in the case 2a. Thank you! :) Loading >8MB kernel works now, but loading syms sections still fails even in the case 2c. -- Hiroki
