Currently, BZ_TEXT_START - LOADADDR = 0x80400000 - 0x80001000 = 3FF000 = 4190208 bytes Today's trunk brcm47xx kernel is 4069124 bytes. So increasing the address is actually just a preventive countermeasure for future kernels.(?) The WRT54GL CFEs seem to use a memory area about half the size of your WRT54GS' So I guess, the actual problem for the WRT54GL was that the stack was smashed? Once my compiling machine finishes your ar71xx with kernel 4.9, I'll test this one here :-) Happy to see, that this problem seems to be solved. Regards, P.
