I'm not sure I get the point. linuxbios on this particular board is loading etherboot from FLASH. Etherboot is then loading the elfImage generated by the latest mkelfImage. Two interesting things: - images generated by the new mkelfImage are not comprehensible to objdump (but old ones are, I'm still trying to get to this) - the new images have load address ca. 0x15000 etc. which seems to blow etherboot out of the sky. the old images have high-memory load addresses. > I hadn't realized I had changed the locations noticeably.

Sometimes I describe the problem and you get me a patch in a few seconds :-) ron
