Strange..
I tried to put kernel.elf on the first partition but it failed.
I organized my 1G hdd as follows.
Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 2100 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 3 1480+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 4 2100 1056888 83 Linux
In the hda1 I placed kernel.elf with dd if=kernel.elf of=/dev/hda1 and placed rootfs on hda2
But It fails to find elf image.
What did I wrong?
I make kernel.elf with mkelfImage version 1.16.
