[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 3/6] x86: Add support for booting Linux using the 32 bit boot protocol

Gabe Black gabeblack at chromium.org
Sat Dec 3 12:18:47 CET 2011


This change conditionally modifies the zboot command so that it can use the
32 bit boot protocol. This is necessary because the 16 bit realmode entry
point assumes that it can call BIOS services which neither coreboot nor
u-boot provide.

Changes in v2:
- Moved the coreboot specific e820 function into a different patch.
