Can you try changing that to ":text = > 0x90909090" in arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S? It still hangs when I change it. > This is definitely a gold bug, or at least a difference between gold and > bfd, but I doubt it's causing your problem, since using :text = 0x00009090 > on bfd still produces a working kernel for me. > > That being said, I just generated a working kernel with GNU gold (version > 2.23.2) 1.11. Can you post a kernel image or a config or something? This is a bizarre issue, because when I edit the kernel, by deleting e.g. a single printk, the kernel boots fine. The same thing happens when I switch to a different compiler. So it appears that some strange coincidence must happen for this bug to trigger. I have uploaded the hanging kernel image to: http://trippelsdorf.de/bzImage (I use: qemu-system-x86_64 -s -enable-kvm -net nic,vlan=0,model=virtio -net user -fsdev local,security_model=none,id=root,path=/ -device virtio-9p-pci,id=root,fsdev=root,mount_tag=/dev/root -m 512 -smp 1 -kernel /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage -nographic -append "init=/bin/zsh root=/dev/root console=ttyS0 kgdboc=ttyS0 rootflags=rw,trans=virtio rootfstype=9p ip=dhcp earlyprintk=ttyS0" for testing) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
