Ok, it appears that it works with GRUB1. This is NOVA hanged, for some 
reason. GRUB does work. I thought, it is GRUB guilty, but no. If I 
remove "novga", it shows CPU list and hangs. I tried to boot NOVA on 
three machines. It hangs on all three. Why it could be?

Ok, no need. As I said above, GRUB1 works, so multiboot1 protocol should 
work.

Ok, I commented

# exec rm -rf [run_dir]/genode

out in genode/tool/run/boot_dir/nova

and now it does not remove the "genode" subdirectory, containing all the 
binaries after "imahge.elf.gz" creation. But I see it creating "core.o" 
object file, instead of "core" binary. How could I convert "core.o" to 
"core"? I tried to link it like this:

/usr/local/genode-gcc/bin/genode-x86-gcc -o core core.o

but it complains about duplicate symbol: "__dso_handle". It has been 
defined in crtbegin.o. Also, it tries to link with -lc and fails. What 
should be correct way to link "core" binary?
