Re-sending to qemu-devel. I'd originally sent this to kvm mailing list. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2012 00:08:06 From: Scott Moser <smoser@ubuntu.com> To: kvm@vger.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] fix multiboot loading if load_end_addr == 0 The previous code did not treat the case where load_end_addr was 0 specially. The multiboot specification says the following: * load_end_addr Contains the physical address of the end of the data segment. (load_end_addr - load_addr) specifies how much data to load. This implies that the text and data segments must be consecutive in the OS image; this is true for existing a.out executable formats. If this field is zero, the boot loader assumes that the text and data segments occupy the whole OS image file. This was raised initially as launchpad bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/957622
