* 2.6 14 March 2006
|
|
- 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

|
|
|
* 2.3 7 Febuary 2003

|
|
- Minor man page updates.

- Allow an arbitrary number of kernel headers in mkelf-linux-ia64.c
|
|
- Remove unused entries from Makefile.conf.in
|
|
- Correctly report the elf note size.
|
|
- Check for broken binutils when we run, so mkelfImage does not generate incorrect images.
|
|
- Add automatic decompress of kernel images
|
|

* 1.14 28 June 2002
|
|
- Use much less complex ld magic (removed the use of PHDRS directive)
|
|
- Fix a small bug in the LinuxBIOS checksum verification code (only affected odd length tables)
|
|
|
|
* 1.13 10 May 2002
|
|
Include the version number in mkelfImage.
|
|
|
|
* 1.12 26 January 2002
|
|
Better firmware detection, and stripping excess symbols from the
|
|
generated object.
|
|
|
|
* 1.11 24 January 2002
|
|
Bug fix to command line processing.
|
|
|
|
* 1.10 21 January 2002
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
* 1.9 7 January 2002
|
|
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.
|

Work around for some versions of ld not treating /dev/null and an
|
|
empty file the same
