QEMU/GRUB: No Multiboot header found

[Massimo Tipaldi]

Dear all,

I have installed all the RTEMS tools on Windows, compiled RTEMS 
(--target=i386-rtems and bsp=pc386) and installed QEMU as detailed in:

http://www.rtems.com/wiki/index.php/MinGW_Tools_for_Windows
http://www.rtems.com/wiki/index.php/QEMU

All these operations went well.

Therefore, I have tried to launch some RTEMS applications by means of 
QEMU/GRUB (in this phase I have taken the executable files produced 
during the RTEMS compilation phase, placed in /testsuites/samples): this 
operation was successfull as well.

After that I have compiled successfully Hello Word by myself 
(examples-4.7.99.2.tar.bz2 
ftp://ftp.rtems.com/pub/rtems/4.7.99.2/examples-4.7.99.2.tar.bz2
) and put my hello.exe in the folder /testsuites/samples/hello).
With my Hello Word, the GRUB gives me the message "No multiboot header 
found".

As far as I have understood, my hello.exe does not have a multiboot header.
How can I overcome this issue? Should I modify somehow my source code or 
the makefiles in order to create this multiboot header into my .exe?


Thanks in advance

Massimo Tipaldi
