Typically elilo is on a 6-month revision cycle but I have decided to release an updated version to fix some important bugs found in the last two months. This version DOES NOT have any new features simply bug fixes. I *STRONGLY* recommend that everyone migrates to this new version as several important bugs have been fixed. See ChangeLog for details. I would like to thanks Levent Akyl, NOMURA Jun'ichi, and Andreas Schwab for submitting bug reports and patches for this release. To compile this package on both IA-32 and IA-64, you need gcc3.x and binutils 2.11.90 or higher. Also if you're using anything newer than gcc3.0 release, you need to grab the updated version of the gnu-efi package, i.e., gnu-efi-3.0a, because there were some changes in the way gcc treats constant strings which impact the loader script used to build elilo. You can grab the package at: ftp://ftp.hpl.hp.com/pub/linux-ia64/gnu-efi-3.0a.tar.gz As usual, I have included precompiled binaries for IA-64 (elilo-ia64.efi) and IA-32 (elilo-ia32.efi). To try out the IA-32 version, you need a PC with EFI support. This can either be a native EFI implementation or a PC with a legacy BIOS booted with the EFI floppies from the Intel sample implementation which you can get at: http://developer.intel.com/technology/efi The new version of elilo can be downloaded from: ftp://ftp.hpl.hp.com/pub/linux-ia64/elilo-3.3a.tar.gz MD5SUM: de5c507c9abbd24c993ac280835dcc57 Enjoy, -- -Stephane
