Hello,
thank you for the quick answer. If seen that already fixed my first

Your fix does not solve my problem. An ELF-kernel still does not boot.
It does if I put the line
esym = ssym = 0;
below the lines where the ELFSSYM and ELFESYM addresses are loaded.
This means that there is something going wrong with the pointers
to these data-structures in the ELF-File, even though the vaules
itself look reasonable to me.
Unfortunately I do not have a soltution right now, but I will I will
try to find one.
Michael
