Hello all,

I was trying to figure out if its possible to load gpxe using kexec.

But kexec says that dont recognize the format of the lkrn file (says that
its not a bzImage, its a zImage) , kexec try to look at the loadflags value
of the header of the "kernel" to see if its set (to see if its bzImage) ,
but gpxe doesn't set this value.

I cant simply set the loadflags to 1, because this will tell the bootloader
that I want to change the address of the protected mode code from 10000, to
100000.
( I have done that, and the machine hangs now)

But what exactly is the implication of this change, can anyone give me a way
to follow ?

What more needs changes if I set the loadflags ?

thanks.
