Hi Played with arcboot today and fixed (for me atleast) loading of 32-bit kernels. I've also added a very simple progress thing so you know something is happening when the kernel is loaded. Anyway, the patch can be found here: http://fairytale.tal.org/pub/talinux/patches/arcboot-O2boot-and-progress.patch The fix was quite simple, arcboot was loading the kernel over itself, the - .base = 0x80004000, + .base = 0x80002000, change is the actual fix. 64-bit kernels loads fine after the fix. There is some extra stuff (a patch from gentoo, removal debuging from e2fs lib, etc) too.. -- Kaj-Michael Lang , milang@xxxxxxx
