| |
o i386 kernel reboots instantly if compiled with binutils older than 2.6.15.
o Older binutils required explicit flags to mark a section allocatable and executable(AX). Newer binutils automatically mark a section AX if the name starts with .text.
o While defining a new section using assembler "section" directive, explicitly mention section flags.
