The previous multiboot load code did not treat the case where load_end_addr was 0 specially. The multiboot specification says the following: * load_end_addr Contains the physical address of the end of the data segment. (load_end_addr - load_addr) specifies how much data to load. This implies that the text and data segments must be consecutive in the OS image; this is true for existing a.out executable formats. If this field is zero, the boot loader assumes that the text and data segments occupy the whole OS image file.
