Here's what readelf says about the header of the uncompressed -xen image: hostname:/boot # readelf -h vmlinuz-2.6.18.2-33-xen.uncompressed ELF Header: Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Class: ELF64 Data: 2's complement, little endian Version: 1 (current) OS/ABI: UNIX - System V ABI Version: 0 Type: EXEC (Executable file) Machine: Advanced Micro Devices X86-64 Version: 0x1 Entry point address: 0xffffffff80200000 Start of program headers: 64 (bytes into file) Start of section headers: 6522760 (bytes into file) Flags: 0x0 Size of this header: 64 (bytes) Size of program headers: 56 (bytes) Number of program headers: 4 Size of section headers: 64 (bytes) Number of section headers: 8010 Section header string table index: 8009 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
