Package: aboot Version: 1.0~pre20040408-2 Severity: important I built a kernel for my alpha and noticed it wouldn't boot (It was cross-compiled, but I doubt that makes a difference)
Using readelf -h, my kernel has 2 program headers. Aboot will not boot these files. I also have linux-image-2.6.24-1-alpha-generic_2.6.24-7_alpha.deb installed on my alpha. This kernel also does not boot. There was apparently a change between kernel v2.6.22 and v2.6.23 in the vmlinux.lds.S that specifies 2 program headers. I modified my ld script to specify 1 header. The system did boot with this modification. Either aboot needs to cope with this or the kernel should be fixed. Is there any other boot loader for the alpha architecture? Be nice if there was a grub! -- System Information Debian Release: lenny/sid Kernel Version: Linux ani 2.6.24.3 #2 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 19 18:23:47 EDT 2008 i686 GNU/Linux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
