From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Matt Domsch Date: Fri, 18 May 2001 22:28:53 +0000 Subject: [Linux-ia64] Announcing efibootmgr-0.3.0 Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org Announcing efibootmgr-0.3.0, a Linux user-space application which interacts with the EFI Boot Manager. It may be downloaded from http://domsch.com/linux/ia64/efibootmgr-0.3.0.tar.gz. This requires the efivars module be loaded, and expects them to be at /proc/efi/vars/* which is consistent with the kernel 2.4.4 IA-64 patch. You must be root to run this (as /proc/efi/vars/* are only read/write root). Changes since v0.2.0: * Fri May 18 2001 Matt Domsch - Padded HARDDRIVE_DEVICE_PATH out to please EFI Boot Manager. - Incorporated patches from Andreas Schwab - replace __u{8,16,32,64} with uint{8,16,32,64}_t - use _FILE_OFFSET_BITS - fix a segfault - release v0.3.0 I believe this is functional, would be happy for the various distributions to include this. As always, comments and patches (such as sent by Andreas!) are appreciated. -- Matt Domsch Sr. Software Engineer Dell Linux Solutions www.dell.com/linux
