about etherboot and mkelfImage

[elife elife]

Hi,
  I am try etherboot in my epia 5000 now. When I used mkelfImage in 
linuxbios, it reports

Welcome to elfboot, the open sourced starter.

�and halts. (The kernel(2.4.20) I uses work fine with linuxbios without 
etherboot)

When I use the newest mkelfImage 2.5, mkelfImage said
  Internal error convert_magic 00000070 != a5a5a5a5

Any hint? By the way, what's the difference between mkelfImage and 
mkelfImage-1.6 in lb?

Thanks!

After I upgrade binutils to 2.14, mkelfImage 2.5 work find and the new output is

Loading 172.27.4.23:vmlinuz.vo ...(ELF)... .......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................done

rhine disable

but then I received nothing from serial.

Any hint?

Thanks!�

Did you put this on your command like "console=ttyS0,115200" (change
115200 for the baud you were using linuxbios at)?

Yes, I put.

./mkelfImage --kernel=/mnt/root/bzImage-17 --output=vmlinuz.vo --command-line="c
onsole=/dev/ttyS0,115200n8 root=/dev/hda2"

Nope, not "console=/dev/ttyS0,115200n8" you want "console=ttyS0,115200n8"
(or you can leave out the n8). Give that a shot. But first, as the last
mail said, test it under a normal bios (with the same command line!).

Thanks!  I am so careless and after I changed console=/dev/ttyS0  to  console=ttyS0 it works fine now.
