Please check the build payload for amd64.

 

It includes: IDE, and SATA(nvidia). And only 32kbytes left.  ---- assume
1Mbytes space, and linuxbios will use 96kbytes.

 

Todo: 

put the kexec tools into the initrd... (32kbytes)

Hope to use ron't update mkelfImage to get more 32kbytes for kexec tools

Ron, 

 

Where is patch for mkelfImage that can take vmlinux instead of bzImage?

busybox



you want this. 

	 

	kernel
	kexec-boot-loader



you want this
 

	 

	kexec-tools 
	mkelfimage
	uclibc

 

	 

	do i need kexec-boot-loader?


yes

If you look in deploy, for now, you can use the payload, which is built
without containing linuxbios or vsa. That is how I got a working payload
for ultra40.

What we need to do with buildrom is extend it so we can have a config
file for a given platform, that builds the proper kernel AND linuxbios,
and has payloads like VSA as an OPTION. I think this is easy. I did it
(sort of) for qemu.
