| * 2.6 14 March 2006 |
| - Fix the i386-linux probe code so it does not get confused by |
| bzImages that are also ELF executables. |
| - Changed value of GDTLOC and REAL_MODE_DATA_LOC to be below |
| 512kb. 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) |
