Gummiboot is an EFI application loader. Since CONFIG_EFI_STUB sticks a PE/COFF header at the front of the bzImage, it appears as an EFI application which gummiboot knows how to load and run. This is also the reason you can execute the bzImage from the EFI shell (or Boot Manager). -- Matt Fleming, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
