Byte 8 of the first stage loader should have been 0xE0 but instead it was 0x5C. I do not know the significance of this byte but I do know that without it being equal to 0xE0 there was no sign that first stage loader was being executed. The following change has been made to the Makefile in 3 places. (ultra.b, generic.b, and fd.b)
- echo -n -e '\340' | $(DD) of=ultra.b bs=1 count=1 seek=7 conv=notrunc + echo -n -e '\0340' | $(DD) of=ultra.b bs=1 count=1 seek=7 conv=notrunc According to echo's man page as well as help for bash's internal echo (the one being used here) the the syntax should be, "\0NNN the character whose ASCII code is NNN (octal)". Because of a change in binutils-2.17 the loaders are a few bytes smaller then the loaders linked with binutils-2.16.1. (The .bss and .data sections are not present in linked the elf, they were empty anyway). Regardless, the code is the same and it is working again. _______________________________________________ Clfs-dev mailing list Clfs-dev@lists.cross-lfs.org http://lists.cross-lfs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clfs-dev
