What would stop a G5 running ELF?

[Andrew Cagney]

Hello,

I'm looking somewhat puzzled at a G5, sitting at the firmware prompt, 
that refuses to run yaboot or ofwboot.elf (both elf-32 executables, they 
hang after printing Loading ELF) but happily loads/runs ofwboot.xcf and 
tbxi (both xcoff executables).

I'm guessing that there is something in the ELF that it doesn't like :-/

Well, what ever it was, apple-option-p-r fixed it!
