I can get the new multi-stage ELF loader thingy working with uncompressed
kernels, but I can't get it to work with gzip'd kernels. I've tried
stripping the symbols prior to gzip'ing ... no luck, the loader doesn't
recognize the gzip'd kernel.
Has anyone figured out how to do this? I need to fit a workstation
kernel ( i.e. that is inclusive of sound drivers) onto a floppy and
not having much luck. It would fit fine if I could compress it.
