Output from the above mkelfImage command.
Both in kvm-0.66 with Plex86/Bochs with Etherboot-5.4 and a Geode LX
coreboot + Etherboot-5.4 [1] the kernel begins booting after downloading
this elf.ltsp file, however it gets stuck at this line:
checking if image is initramfs...it isn't (bad gzip magic numbers);
looks like an initrd
At this point SysRQ doesn't seem to work so I can't get any more
information.
I suspect it is something about this very new kernel that is breaking
mkelfImage? I tried my mkelfImage binary with a 2.6.17-based Ubuntu
kernel and initrd and it seems bootable.
