If you can't get the ELF image it was converted from, you may try converting it back to ELF like this: $ mipsel-linux-objcopy -O elf32-tradlittlemips boot.img DEBIAN.SYS I have never used that, though, so I can't say if it works. Actually objcopy from more or less current binutils emits a bogus warning when executing the above command. Maciej
