CONFIG_ALPHA_LEGACY_START_ADDRESS: Legacy kernel start address

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_ALPHA_LEGACY_START_ADDRESS has multiple definitions:

Legacy kernel start address found in arch/alpha/Kconfig.debug

The configuration item CONFIG_ALPHA_LEGACY_START_ADDRESS:

• prompt: Legacy kernel start address
• type: bool
• depends on: CONFIG_ALPHA_GENERIC
• defined in arch/alpha/Kconfig.debug
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.9–2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.8, 6.9-rc+HEAD

The 2.4 kernel changed the kernel start address from 0x310000 to 0x810000 to make room for the Wildfire's larger SRM console. Recent consoles on Titan and Marvel machines also require the extra room.

If you're using aboot 0.7 or later, the bootloader will examine the ELF headers to determine where to transfer control. Unfortunately, most older bootloaders -- APB or MILO -- hardcoded the kernel start address rather than examining the ELF headers, and the result is a hard lockup.

Say Y if you have a broken bootloader. Say N if you do not, or if you wish to run on Wildfire, Titan, or Marvel.
