Dear All,

           I have built a kernel version 2.6.34 and have a file vmlinuz-2.6.34 in /boot folder.
           Is this file multiboot comliant ?. If yes, then as per multiboot specification, first byte should be magic number 0x1BADB002.
           But when I read the first byte, it is 0xC00005EA.
 

Dear Prabhu,

I am not sure about the addresses but Linux kernel does. The trick is in the boot-loader which loads any kernel/platform.

Take care.
 
          Please clarify.

Regards,
Prabhu
