From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Stephane Eranian Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2001 23:11:17 +0000 Subject: [Linux-ia64] elilo-3.1 is now available 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 Hi, A new version of elilo is now available for downloads from: ftp://ftp.hpl.hp.com/pub/linux-ia64/elilo-3.1.tar.gz This new version uses the gnu-efi-3.0.tar.gz package. This version will only load kernel >= 2.4.3. New in this version: -------------------- - possibility to abort (via keypress) on loads of compressed files (like kernel or initrd) - possibility to use forward slashes (/) when accessing files on EFI system partitions (FAT32). - added support for architecture specific config file options - added support for architecture specific command line options - added support for kernel relocation when the load address is not available (on memory errors or misconfiguration). This patch was contributed by Brent Casavant from SGI. The default Linux/ia64 does not support relocation, so you need a special version. Relocation is only available for IA-64. - update to documentation (elilo.txt) Bug fixes: ---------- - see changelog This new version has been tested on bigsur with FW B99b and also B114b. No testing has been done for EFI/ia32-based systems. -- -Stephane
