It's definitely a problem with older binutils. I tried it last night on my RH4.2 system, and got (lots of) utterly garbage output from ld. I'll suggest to Ken when he returns that he should provide an alternate Makefile/Config.32 for older binutils systems. The ones in etherboot-3.2 should (I think) do fine. -- Jim Hague - hague@research.canon.com.au(Work),bears@cix.co.uk(Play) Canon Information Systems Research Australia +61 2 9805 2854
