Does changing the value of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE change anything? I will have to dig a little deeper but this certainly sounds like the x86_64 relocatable kernel patches. I believe the check is in arch/x86_64/boot/compressed/misc.c I think the interesting .config variable is going to be CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START. I suspect that isn't going to be 2M aligned, like the kernel requires for best performance. > Please send the .config. Please. Eric
