Hi All, Hopefully this will help demystify the build processHi! Wow great man! I deeply suggest to write that into kernelnewbies wiki too....
I've had another followup suggestion to add this to the wiki. I don't have permissions to add or edit wiki pages, so if someone feels like adding me as a wiki editor then I can do it soon enough, otherwise, I'm happy for any existing editor to create a new page. /Documents/bzImageBuildProcess is where I would think to put it. Also, I'm in the process of disecting the x86 boot_params and associated structures, what members are used where etc including the 'header.bin' 16-bit real-mode initialisation code and the kernel decompression and start of execution which, I think, would be worth adding to the wiki when done I've created a wiki account (GraemeRuss) so if anyone wants me to add a new page, add me to the editors list, send me and email, and I will get to it
Once again, great job!
Thanks, Graeme
