Hi carl-daniel, please see my other messages. I would prefer to have lar parse the elf for the initram, as it is doing for the payload, and in fact i'd like to get rid of binary blobs altogether. can you look at my proposed modifications and see what you think? Unfortunately they do replace the mods you are proposing in this message.
"I vote for the second choice, but that means we can't feed the lar utility binary objects anymore without additional "entry" parameters."
Exactly. Let's get rid of binary objects.
I just read your second message on this subject, I am not really comfortable with this type of complexity in a makefile: `objdump -f $(obj)/linuxbios.initram.o|grep "start address"|sed "s/.*0x//"|tr "[[:lower:]]" "[[:upper:]]"`
Let's just do the right thing and parse the elf of initram.o. It works. I had to make *0* changes to the lar create -- just hand it the initram.o, and it all just worked! the first test of the change involved adding just a few characters in the makefile!
thanks
ron
