Since bootloaders need to be aware, anyway, they can just detect this magic and treat is as an Linux calling convention ELF image, or they can not detect it, and treat it as a bzImage. As a side benefit, we: a) can use a magic number that contains a jump instruction (to keep the non-bootsector happy); b) get a proper Linux kernel magic number. -hpa _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
