I have built a kernel version 2.6.34 and have a file

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.
unless a patch has been applied recently (within the last year as thats
when I last looked) to make it so, Linux isn't multiboot compliant. If
you search the lkml you'll find a few mails about it, I just don't think
anyone was interested in making it compliant as they didn't see any benefit.
