I'm trying to figure out what physical address the kernel jumps to after "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.". IIRC, there are two parts to a kernel image, one compressed part and one uncompressed. The uncompressed code decompresses the compressed part and puts it into memory then jumps to it. I'm using an ARM kernel, version 2.6.38.
try to check the related ld script...for example, in x86 it's in arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S and arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds. The latter is generated during kernel compilation AFAIK. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
