Hi,
It took me quite some time to get v4.4.24 to successfully boot (this was a 32 bits build on Fedora 24). Especially annoying was that it failed silently on real hardware. Only after messing around with Qemu it became clear what might be going on.
It turned out Fedora 24 ships binutils-2.26, and using that version of binutils apparently requires commit 6d92bc9d483a ("x86/build: Build compressed x86 kernels as PIE"). Does is makes sense to add that commit to the v4.4.y stable tree?
Thanks,
Paul Bolle
