Better yet, please try `readelf -Sl', which reports additional data beyond what's obtainable with `objdump'. But why that unloadable data is requested at all? There is something strange about the .comment section -- it's not allocatable, yet it has addresses set. Anyway, it need not be relevant here as section headers are not interpreted by your boot loader. -- + Maciej W.
