Subject: Re: loadlin with 2.5.?? kernels
Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2002 23:00:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ApOnXDAL8bu9EwOR@n-cantrell.demon.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <m1bs5in1zh.fsf@frodo.biederman.org>
which version of loadlin does this patch?
Hans Lermen changed the gdt structure in version 1.6b to enable it to
boot a win4lin-enabled kernel - he also changed things recently (1.6c)
to boot kernels of between 0.5 &1.5Mb compressed.
(IF I sat down for half an hour I could comment better.. but you
probably know the answer straight-off anyway :-))
