That sounds strange. It does relocate EFI PEI images. Unfortunatly there is no tools to create EFI PEI objects on Linux. The gnu efi tools are kludgy: they use standard gcc and ld, create an ELF image and convert it to a PEI image. But the relocations are not converted, they are simply put into the data section.
The long term solution is to make a EFI/PEI port of binutils. Tristan. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
