In the arch/ppc/boot directory, one of the linker options is "-Ttext 0x00800000".
What does this mean ? The base virtual address of the kernel is c0000000. I've been using my own hand-rolled bootloader to load the zImage.bin file into an address allocated by the VxWorks malloc and jumping to that address. Second question. arch/ppc/boot/simple/head.S says it expects the load address in r3. It seems strange that it would need its own (start) starting address. What is this routine expecting ?
