Thanks for the report. This is what mopchk says about the image: Checking: vmlinux.SYS RSX Image Header Block Count: 0 Image Size: 00000000 Load Address: 00000000 Transfer Address: 00000000 No wonder it cannot be booted -- the header states the file's size is zero. > if you need any more info give me a shout .. That's enough, thanks. It seems I was a bit too optimistic in the assumption a traditional MOP image header contains a correct image size -- I'll implement a fallback to the file's size if the header contains null size. Since I'll be away till Tuesday, expect an update in the middle of the next week. I'm assuming ELF loading works, right? Maciej -- + Maciej W.
