I have tried to build compressed kernels ala Linux (yes, I need more
space on my fixit floppy!). All I got is a crash when booting the
compressed kernel. This is not surprising if you look at the start
code I used :-)
.text
start:
call _kunzip
jmp _new_kernel
There is no problem if I link whith 'main(){kunzip();}' and run as a
'normal' program instead of the .S code above, so I conclude that I
have to use a more complex start code!
Unfortunately, writing this is far beyond my capabilities. All my
knowledge in assembly programing is resumed in the 2 lines above!
Any helper?
Jean-Marc
