how does crt0.base move to c_start.S. I did not find any reference to c_start.S from crt0.base or any other .inc files included in crt0.base

These execute first, and eventually move the C-code (and decompress it if necessary) to RAM, ending at c_start.S, which jumps to the C-code. The .inc files do things that are necessary as a prelude to running C, which needs RAM (ie, a stack). Each .inc file must jump around its data, it is expected to execute top to bottom and flow to the next file included below it. -Steve _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
