Just want to do away with the overhead of > bzImage etc!! bzImage has some real mode code that gets information from the BIOS and passes it to the vmlinux (see Documentation/i386/zero-page.txt) grub would need to pass this information first before it could execute vmlinux directly. There are also some more complications on x86-64: vmlinux currently assumes it starts in 32bit protected mode, not 64bit. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
