This allows for booting on machines whose BIOS reports - only 512kb of memory below 1MB. - -* 2.5 24 April 2003 -- Fix the checksum code so that it checksums the bss sections as well. - How I missed the checksum code was broken in 2.4 I don't know. - -* 2.4 22 April 2003 -- Fix code that failed to write more than the first ELF note. - Resulting in checksums and other information not being present - in the generated ELF image. - This bug has been present since mkelfImage-2.0 - -* 2.3 7 Febuary 2003 -- Disable debugging code on the itanium that is not always safe. - -* 2.2 6 Febuary 2003 -- Always read the correct pointer when an ELF boot header is found. -- Add a printf implementation to i386-linux/convert_param.c -- Minor man page updates. - -* 2.1 27 January 2003 -- Allow an arbitrary number of kernel headers in mkelf-linux-ia64.c -- Remove unused entries from Makefile.conf.in -- Correctly report the elf note size. -- Check for broken binutils when we run, so mkelfImage does not generate incorrect images. -- Add automatic decompress of kernel images - -* 2.0 13 January 2003 -- Convert everything to C -- Add itanium support - -* 1.19 20 December 2002 - - Update to handle a Bhdr passed via the C calling conventions. - -* 1.18 9 November 2002 - - Update to work with binutils 2.13.x - -* 1.17 17 October 2002 - - Add an rpm target - - Fix Source0 in the rpm spec file - - Linux 2.5.x support - -* 1.16 29 August 2002 - - Include the source for my spec file in the tarball. - - Fix the make install target - -* 1.15 23 August 2002 - - Rewrote the perl ip checksum code to be reasonably fast - - Fixes to the initial parameter passing in head.S thanks to Jake Page <jake@CS.Stanford.EDU> - - Initial cross compiling support thanks to Jake Page <jake@CS.Stanford.EDU> - - Official specfile thanks to Andrew Ip <aip@cwlinux.com> - - Autoconf support Josh Aune <lunke@linuxnetworx.com> - -* 1.14 28 June 2002 - - Use much less complex ld magic (removed the use of PHDRS directive) - - Fix a small bug in the LinuxBIOS checksum verification code (only affected odd length tables) - -* 1.13 10 May 2002 - Include the version number in mkelfImage. - -* 1.12 26 January 2002 - Better firmware detection, and stripping excess symbols from the - generated object. - -* 1.11 24 January 2002 - Bug fix to command line processing. - -* 1.10 21 January 2002 - Starting using the PHDRS directive which many versions of ld cannot - handle correctly. The symptom is generally a file that is 9MB in - size. - - Start computing a checksum on the Image. - - Include an ELF note section in the image for out of band - information (checksum, program name, etc). - -* 1.9 7 January 2002 - I changed LinuxBIOS (in LinuxBIOS) from passing it's information - locally, to passing it in a global table that is always present. - So that whoever needs that information can get it unfiltered. And - because it isn't being passed around it has less chance of - becomming corrupt. Globals for global information are good :) - Version 1.9 goes out and finds that table. - -* 1.8 10 December 2001 - Move the ramdisk up even higher in memory. - Better debugging of multiboot parameters - Pass the correct values for a vga screen instead of telling the - kernel we have EGA... - -* 1.7 18 May 2001 - Warn when I don't have information about the bootloader. - Include a ELF compreressor that works on alpha && x86 - There is no good way to apply it though. - -* 1.6 1 Febuary 2001 - Code cleanup in bzImage support. - -* 1.5 1 Febuary 2001 - Add support for bzImage - -* 1.4 ??? - ??? - -* 1.3 27 December 2000 - Minor bug fixes for working with the e820 memory map. - -* 1.2 18 December 2000 - Work around for some versions of ld not treating /dev/null and an - empty file the same - -* 1.1 30 November 2000 - Fix for ramdisks and large amounts of memory with 2.2 series - kernels. - -* 1.0 7 November 2000 - Initial release (supports vmlinux && bvmlinux) |
