My kernel would fail during initialisation.
I tracked the problem to trying to access the cmdline parameters.
The same kernel (exact same binary image) successfully accesses the
parameters when booted from 0.5
My menu.lst includes (in order)
1 kernel with 2 parameters
1 module with 5 params
3 modules with no params
1 module with 2 params
3 modules with no params
1 pause (so I can check grub messages before my kernel floods the screen)
My kernel fails when accessing the elements of the cmdline.
Which it thinks is at address 0x2000
grub 0.5 was built uising gcc 2.8.1
grub 0.5.0.93 was built using 2.95.2 with the corresponding binutils
