Hi Tony,
As you mentioned, I must take into account the load-base value
and the OF alignment constraints when changing the real-base value. But,
as far as I could understand, the crucial point here is to ensure that
the reserved space for loading the bootloader is enough, or, in other words, it
must be ensured that ($real-base - $load-base) > $bootloader_size.
In the 'pseudo-patch' I've sent, I really didn't take
into account any OF alignment constraint or load-base value (that I
think it must stay unchanged). I just shifted the real-base pointer in
order to increase the space for loading the bootloader correctly. What
kind of alignment must I take into consideration when changing the
real-base pointer? Is there an upper limit up to where I can shift the
real-base value? Modifying the real-base value isn't enough?
Thanks,
Luiz Fernando.
