I referenced tyan s2885 codes to modify my Config.lb, Options.lb and
cache_as_ram_auto.c
I just tried to build tyan s2885 images form a clean updated tree and
met the same problem.

Please try to reduce the ROM_IMAGE_SIZE to 0x13000

I set ROM_IMAGE_SIZE to 0x13000 and still got the 421bytes error.
after set ROM_IMAGE_SIZE to 0x12000 got the following error:

gcc -m32 -nostdlib -nostartfiles -static -o linuxbios -T ldscript.ld

make: *** [normal/linuxbios.rom] Error 1

the error occurs when building the normal image, and the size of
.rodata.str1.32 is just 421 byte. Are there errors setting sections?

[Ronald G. Minnich]

I forget, did you send us your targets Config.lb? I think you still have 
got something wrong.

Please check your MB Config.lb

there should be no "section .rodata.str1.32" section because it is
already be change to .init.rodata....

After add "--rename-section .rodata.str1.32=.init.rodata.str1.32" in
init.o makerule
the make process succeed.  The rodata.str1.32 section should be
created by compiler,
my gcc version is 3.3.3(Debian 20040417)

[yhlu]

in RH gcc3.4.3
in Suse gcc.3.3.3
only have .rodata.str1.1...

can you update to gcc 3.4.3 have a try....

[yhlu]

or you can disable CONFIG_USE_INIT

I tried gcc3.3.6 with debian and it still have .rodata.str1.32 section,
the following mail explains the strM.N section, It's better to rename all these
sections to .init.rodata.strM.N, but I can't find how to do this job.

[yhlu]

so bytes alignment is different...

no, we need to fix the ldscripts, we had this problem once before in a 
slightly different situation. I'll try to fix this when I get back. It's 
an easy fix.
