This broke powerpc64 Book-E kernels. It now puts a 1MB blank space ahead of the kernel data (ELF header + 1MB - sizeof(header) of 0's), meaning that now the kernel needs to be loaded by uboot 1MB earlier in memory, rather than straight on the 64MB boundary as it has been. - Justin _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
