You can't use the 'go' command to execute a Linux kernel, it is designed
to launch eCos applications.
Quite a long time ago I posted a patch here to add a 'linux' command to
i386 RedBoot similar to that used on the ARM platform (but called exec
there), I have had several people report that they are using it OK. I
suggest you have a dig through the mailing list archives for the patch
since I don't have it to hand.
My eCos copyright assignment is still with management here :-( but this
is one of the things I would like to get merged (eventually...)
Ian.
