Thanks Ron,
Attached is the serial dump of what is happening -- stuff in double
braces [[ ]] are notes from me. From the attached logs and additional
debug prints in the kernel and the convert_params.c file I'm pretty
convinced its *not* mkelfImage. I think mkelfImage is doing exactly
what its supposed to do.
I think it still could be Etherboot but I think its more likely
something with the kernel and/or the version of the kernel I'm using.
I've come to this conclusion because the initrd data (stuff at 0x800000)
just before the mkelfImage/convert_params.c handoff to Linux is perfect.
I'm in the process of building new and different kernel versions to
see if it makes a difference. What version of the kernel have you used
successfully with Etherboot/single mkelfImage?
Perhaps you'll see something that I don't. I'm starting to have "can't
see the forest from the trees" issues...
