Subject: Can we get rid of zImage this time?
Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2007 16:52:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <466DE04C.4020303@zytor.com> (raw)
I brought this up a few years ago, and had it shot down, because of a
few poorly substantiated claims of zImage-only machines; those claims
really need to be debugged since they might indicate A20-related failures.
Anyway...
Can we please kill zImage? In addition to be completely useless for
modern kernels, it causes unnecessary complexity in boot loaders.
