Date: Sat, 5 May 2007 12:44:52 +0200 From: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@...lshack.com> To: Andi Kleen <ak@...e.de>, Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>, "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@...or.com>, lkml <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [PATCH] Make bootsector stub 16-bit-only (i386) Hi! The x86 bzImage contains a stub to inform people that it is not possible any more to run a Linux kernel by catting it to a floppy and then booting from it. This was meant to be all 16-bit code. The first instruction, however, ended up as being coded as a 16:32-bit far jump. I assume the intention was a 16:16-bit far jump. This patch changes only i386.
