I'm using etch so:
GNU ld version 2.17 Debian GNU/Linux

If you work on Mini-OS note that 3.0.4 works but 3.1 fails for
me. Do you see the same or is that a side effect of the wrong MemSize?


I commented out the align statements and that seems to do the
trick. Not ideal but it is ok for now. Thanks. I would have never
found that fix.
