|
|
- Fix the i386-linux probe code so it does not get confused by
|
|
|
|
|
bzImages that are also ELF executables.
|
|
|
|
|
- Changed value of GDTLOC and REAL_MODE_DATA_LOC to be below
|
|
|
|
|
512kb. This allows for booting on machines whose BIOS reports
|
|
|
|
|
only 512kb of memory below 1MB.

* 2.5 24 April 2003
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix the checksum code so that it checksums the bss sections as well.
|
|
|
|
|
How I missed the checksum code was broken in 2.4 I don't know.

|
|
|
|
|
|
* 2.4 22 April 2003
|
|
|

|
- Fix code that failed to write more than the first ELF note.
|
|
|
|
|
Resulting in checksums and other information not being present
|
|
|
|
|
in the generated ELF image.
|
|
|
|
|
This bug has been present since mkelfImage-2.0

- Remove unused entries from Makefile.conf.in

|
|
|
|

Starting using the PHDRS directive which many versions of ld cannot
|
|
|
|
|
handle correctly. The symptom is generally a file that is 9MB in
|
|
|
|
|
size.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start computing a checksum on the Image.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Include an ELF note section in the image for out of band
|
|
|
|
|
information (checksum, program name, etc).

I changed LinuxBIOS (in LinuxBIOS) from passing it's information
|
|
|
|
|
locally, to passing it in a global table that is always present.
|
|
|
|
|
So that whoever needs that information can get it unfiltered. And
|
|
|
|
|
because it isn't being passed around it has less chance of
|
|
|
|
|
becomming corrupt. Globals for global information are good :)
|
|
|
|
|
Version 1.9 goes out and finds that table.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 1.8 10 December 2001
|
|
|
|
|
Move the ramdisk up even higher in memory.
|
|
|
|
|
Better debugging of multiboot parameters
|
|
|
|
|
Pass the correct values for a vga screen instead of telling the
|
|
|
|
|
kernel we have EGA...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 1.7 18 May 2001
|
|
|
|
|
Warn when I don't have information about the bootloader.
|
|
|
|
|
Include a ELF compreressor that works on alpha && x86
|
|
|
|
|
There is no good way to apply it though.
