Re: [LinuxBIOS] Build broken?

[beneo]

Thanks for the pointer. I tried it, but still has some issues, hope a guru
can point me a little more.

I changed the ROM_IMAGE_SIZE to 128k from 64K for both normal and fall back,
the PAYLOAD_SIZE changed to 128K too.

But I still get a error message like this:
-----
objcopy --gap-fill 0xff -O binary linuxbios linuxbios.strip
gcc -o buildrom
/root/dl/lb/v2-2064/LinuxBIOSv2-2064/util/buildrom/buildrom.c
./buildrom linuxbios.strip linuxbios.rom /export/1/payloads/filo.zelf
0x20000 0x40000
linuxbios image is 131080 bytes; only 131072 allowed
Linuxbios input file larger than allowed size!
-----

This only happens to my fallback image. I traced the code, indeed, My
linuxbios.strip file has a size = 131080, which is too large. But the size
of my linuxbios file was only 124570. the objcopy seems created a too large
linuxbios.strip for me.

More interesting thing is that I have a older tree, (8 month older tree) In
that tree, my linuxbios file size was 122982, the objcopy successfully
created a linuxbios.strip file with a size 65536. It must used some
compression. Since I don't know much about objcopy, I can not tell what it
used. The only difference I can tell is that objcopy was look like this:
objcopy -O binary linuxbios linuxbios.strip. (Note: without "--gap-fill 0xff
" option, but don't know if it would make any difference)

Does anybody know what I did wrong or missed?

By the way, my linuxbios_ram.rom size is 31614, crt0.o size is 87388.
Payload size is 42784.

Thanks

beneo
