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.
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.
