Should I worry, b/c it boots fine except for that. Nothing to worry about. It just means the kernel load size is bigger than the loader address (default 576 kB). You won't get any trouble unless the kernel is much closer to the 640 kB limit, when the loader stack gets clobbered by the zeroing of the bss. If the kernel boots and runs, you can be sure that this problem did not happen. -- adam@veda.is
