</div>Badari, the problem is with your toolchain.. <br>
the binutils in SLES9 is too old (even in SP3)<div><br>
The issue is that it cannot align something (the zero page I think) to 64kb .<br>
<br>
SLES9 SP3 has "GNU ld version 2.15.90.0.1.1 20040303 (SuSE Linux)"<br>
<br>
But I have to use binutils 2.15.94 to make a 64kb kernel boot properly <br>
(I can give you the package offline if you need)<br>
<br>
</div>Hope it helps.<br></div><br>
