This package contains version 3.4 of elilo, the EFI boot loader
|
||||
for IA-64(IPF) and IA-32(x86) EFI-based platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
RELEASE NOTES:
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
Take a look at the Changelog for a detailed list of changes
|
||||
since 3.3a.
|
||||
|
||||
- The major new feature of this release pertains to netbooting.
|
||||
With elilo-3.4, the bootloader will look for files ONLY in the
|
||||
directory if was downloaded from on the TFTP server. Of course,
|
||||
if you specific absolute path, files can be placed anywhere in
|
||||
the TFTP directory structure. This may break some setup but
|
||||
an explicit error message is printed warning the user.
|
||||
|
||||
- There were a bunch of important bug fixes, including handling
|
||||
of paths when booting from the local disk.
|
||||
|
||||
- Downloading of large files work with EFI versions prior to 14.60
|
||||
where there was a bug but also with the fixed version of EFI
|
||||
starting at 14.60.
|
||||
|
||||
- There were also some updates for elilo on IA-32. The loader
|
||||
can load unmodified Linux kernel/initrd image from either the
|
||||
local disk or via netbooting. Thanks to Matt Tolentino at Intel
|
||||
for the IA-32 updates.
|
||||
|
||||
- The ext2fs support code is still present but is not compiled in
|
||||
anymore. This code does not understand ext3fs and might lead to
|
||||
errors because it does not understand the journal.
|
||||
|
||||
This package is known to compile and produce working binaries
|
||||
when used in conjunction with gnu-efi-3.0a. This package is
|
||||
available from the HP Labs FTP site:
|
||||
|
||||
ftp://ftp.hpl.hp.com/pub/linux-ia64/gnu-efi-3.0a.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
For IA-64, a toolchain know to produce working binaries is:
|
||||
gcc-3.1
|
||||
binutiuls 2.13.90
|
||||
|
||||
Your may have problems with newer toolchains due to some
|
||||
dependencies in the gnu-efi package. Those dependencies
|
||||
will be fixed eventually.
|
||||
|
||||
For IA-32, the Redhat 8.0 toolchain is known to produce
|
||||
working binaries when used with gnu-efi-3.0a + loader
|
||||
script patch which is included in the gnu-efi-3.0a-ia32.patch
|
||||
in this package. The toolchain includes:
|
||||
|
||||
gcc: gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)
|
||||
as : GNU assembler version 2.13.90.0.2 (i386-redhat-linux)
|
||||
using BFD version 2.13.90.0.2 20020802
|
||||
ld : GNU ld version 2.13.90.0.2 20020802
|
||||
|
||||
The Redhat 9.0 toolchain does not work at the moment.
|
||||

||||
