Hi Peter,
> Try making the kernel into an elf and booting that directly, perhaps?
That was the first thing I tried but it didn't work, although now I know
about adding the proper signature/loader near the front of the ELF file
I might try it again.
I actually got it to work late last night, it turns out I hadn't
specified the section load address correctly in the linker script when I
was embedding the kernel image into FILO - once I did that it detected
the kernel and loaded it. Yay!
It was a pretty roundabout way of getting the kernel image into the FILO
ELF file though:

(modified from ARM to i386, of course.) Is this the only way of
embedding a binary file into an ELF image?
Thanks,
Adam.
