[syslinux] Syslinux Digest, Vol 92, Issue 25

Tue Nov 30 04:14:22 PST 2010

Sorry Gene,

I got the version of binutils is 2.17.
I download the latest Binutils to make the *objdump* and *objcopy*. with 
both of these utilities to create new pxelinux.raw.
then, the error message shows me that,

objcopy -O binary pxelinux.elf pxelinux.raw
../lzo/prepcore pxelinux.raw pxelinux.bin
../lzo/prepcore: pxelinux.raw: output too big (30165, max 0)
make[1]: *** [pxelinux.bin] Error 1

so, i thought maybe there is something wrong with the format of the 
pxelinux.raw.
is that right?

thanks aaron
