Hello list,
the current version of FILO is only aware of the Linux boot protocol up to the version 2.03. This makes it impossible to, e.g., load newer kernels compiled with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y because they require the boot loader to at least support version 2.05 of the Linux boot loader protocol. Otherwise the kernel will just panic while trying to uncompress (because it thinks the load address is NULL). The attached patch fixes this problem by enhancing the current implementation to cover the newer protocol versions and respect the new members, specifically "relocatable_kernel" and "kernel_alignment".
