Hi,

I thought zkernel_start could be the reason, but not :

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to elfboot, the open sourced starter.
January 2002, Eric Biederman.
Version 1.2
  203:init_bytes() - zkernel_start:0xfffc0000  zkernel_mask:0x0000007f
Searching for 16 byte tags
   64:rom_read_bytes() - overflowed source buffer. max_block = 3
init_bytes found 0 tags
Found ELF candiate at offset 0
Loading Etherboot version: 5.1.8
Dropping non PT_LOAD segment
New segment addr 0x20000 size 0x12e0f offset 0xb0 filesize 0x3f5d
(cleaned up) New segment addr 0x20000 size 0x12e0f offset 0xb0 filesize 
0x3f5d
Loading Segment: addr: 0x000000000ff7ec68 memsz: 0x0000000000012e0f filesz: 
0x0000000000003f5d
Clearing Segment: addr: 0x000000000ff82bc5 memsz: 0x000000000000eeb2
Jumping to boot code at 0x20000

(Restarted)
LinuxBIOS-1.0.0 Tue May 13 11:51:30 EDT 2003 starting...
Ram1
Ram2
.................

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Still looping............

My kernel was built by :
mkelfImage --command-line="root=/dev/hda5 console=ttyS0,19200"
--kernel vmlinux -o vmlinux..elf

But the ELF image cannot be tagged. (invalid linux kernel)
Also, the tagged bzImage cannot be made ELF. (Not an linux kernel at line 
73)

Could it be a problem ? I should have a tagged ELF according to the 
Documentation.

Thanks a lot.
regards,
eehuey
