You may also need my "v3: fix SHARED macros in the non-_MAINOBJECT case" patch if you are calling stage1 functions (printk, post_code, ...) from any file linked into initram which has _MAINOBJECT not set. Besides that, there is a compiler bug in gcc 4.2.1 (possibly others) which will cause a crash on any call to stage1 functions under the above conditions. I think I can sort of workaround that bug with advanced linker trickery, but I'd rather resolve that bug in a clean way. > We're on our way! > Thanks, r524.
