hello,
I want to know the details about ELF file header structure and process of relocation that happens with an elf file. I m working on a bootlader and need to know the structure and method as to how elf file gets mapped.
Any pointers will help
bye,
nikhil
Look google for "system V ABI" and "ELF". You should find the ABI ref easily at Intel,
Sun and Motorola sites. Note that a significant part is CPU-dependant so in some case
the specific part is a bit difficult to find (68K comes to mind). There's also a book "Linkers and Loaders" about all formats.

Another reference is glibc sources (elf/dl-*.c). It contains complete source to ld-linux.so.2, though unfortunately it is quite difficult to understand, as it is choke-full of macros.
Cheers,
