No. > Are your talking about PIC ?? No. I relocate a LinuxBIOS to the top of memory just before we jump to the loaded ELF image so it gets out of the way. So a bootloader should be able to use pretty much any address when loading into memory. And definentily any address the bootloader can count on being there (unless you have an extremely low memory machine). Eric
