So I tried doing the following
load -v -m disk hda2:vmlinux
exec -c "console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda2 ip=dhcp platformid=0x500300"
I also tried to execute exec with that specified -l
load -v -m disk hda2:vmlinux
exec -l 0x500000 -c "console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda2 ip=dhcp
platformid=0x500300"
without any luck objdump for vmlinux shows the following: so I have
also tried executing
go 0x00100000 without any luck
vmlinux: file format elf32-i386
