Probably. I'll give it a go.

Almost, but not quite. We'll need some modifications to yaboot (it
refuses to accept an ET_DYN image, for instance), plus I'm currently

Hmmm, your config works for me on a POWER6 partition here, whether I
netboot the zImage.pseries or boot it with yaboot. I wonder if your
toolchain is an older version. What is the output from ld --version
and gcc --version?

Hi Paul,
I can't boot zImage with your patches. I'm getting the following error
message from prom_init.c
Error: You can't boot a kdump kernel from OF!
This is due to the check:
if (PHYSICAL_START > 0)
prom_panic("Error: You can't boot a kdump kernel from OF!\n");
where PHYSICAL_S
11 matches
