The output is different on each architecture. Attached screenshot from amd64.

Tested mainline,1440 compiled with GCC 4.6.3 on

  • amd64 (QEMU 1.0.1)
  • sparc64 (QEMU 1.0.1)
  • mips32 (GXemul)

The problem seems to be in stripping the loader binary. If loader is not stripped, but everything else is, the system boots and operates just fine.

comment:2 by Jiri Svoboda, 13 years ago

For the loader binary, and for the loader binary alone, strip prints out some warnings:

/usr/local/cross/amd64/bin/amd64-linux-gnu-strip loader
BFD: st4kO0FA: section .init lma 0x70001120 adjusted to 0x70002120

BFD: st4kO0FA: section `.text' can't be allocated in segment 1

Some things appear to be wrong with the stripped file:

Yeah, if the .interp section is marked as allocable ("a") and @note or @progbits, the interpreter string "kernel" is not stripped and everything works.
