Raw Blame History

2005-12-01 Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@hp.com>
* Applied patch from Fred Yang <fred.yang@intel.com> to support the
vmm= boot option. This option specifies the kernel image for a
virtual machine monitor (aka hypervisor). The vmm= and image=
options are used together to load both the hypervisor kernel and
the guest domain kernel into memory. If a vmm= option is not
specified, elilo defaults to the old behavior of loading and booting
to the image= kernel.
* Added support for compressed image= files when used with the vmm=
option. If the image= file is detected to be gzip compressed, the
image will be uncompressed into memory before it is provided to the
hypervisor. Any combination of compressed and uncompressed images
can be used for the image and vmm options.
2005-09-15 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>
* Applied patch from Tristan Gingold to add dcache flush and sync with
icache to gzip and plain loaders. This ommision was just noticed now
due to the much larger caches in Montecito, and the smaller size of
Xen (as compared to the linux kernel).
2004-09-27 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>
* Increase the hardcoded size of the texmenu chooser menu from 16 to 64
2004-09-23 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>

that the fix is based on.
2004-02-19 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>
* Fixed bug where default image initrd would carry over to another
image that was selected interactively (iff the newly selected image
did not have an initrd).
* Added support for subnet-specific config files in netfs.
2004-02-17 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>

2003-08-13 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* updated elilo.txt and netbooting.txt
* fix a bug in choosers/simple.c:print_infos().
it needs to check if config file path is absolute
when printing filename.
* move definitions of CHAR_SLASH CHAR_BACKSLASH to elilo.h
* fix a bug in read_config() where it would try other
filename even when the user explicitely specified one
via -C, now it fails it that file cannot be opened.

2003-01-28 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* fix the set_default_path() routine in glue_localfs.c. It would not
correctly get the basename of the devpath. This caused the
elilo.conf not to be found sometimes.
2003-01-21 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>

success even in case of failure. Bug reported by Egan Ford <egan@sense.net>
* applied patch from Richard Hirst <rhirst@linuxcare.com> to fix an
initialization bug in choosers/textmenu.c
* applied patch from Richard Hirst <rhirst@linuxcare.com> to make elilo
compliant with EFI spec with regards to where it looks for files.

a strXcmp() on a NULL string.
2001-08-01 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>

netfs_query_layer()
* fixed to wait_timeout() to correct the problem with the interactive prompt when
return is hit directly when no text
* fixed command line argument destruction problem, now we make a copy of them. This
was affecting elilo when called directly from bootmanager with NVRAM options.
2001-06-28 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* removed W2U() hack to get from wide-char to unicode. Use -fshort-wchar option instead.

* restructured the fileops module. Now use direct function calls.
* added support for accessing files on different devices.

* incorporated rewritten gzip.c:flush_window() from Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
* added interface for custom device naming schemes (devnames directory).
* added support for 2 possible config file (now just on netboot). The first
(primary) choice uses a host specific filename based on the IP address. Suggestion
from Egan Ford <egan@sense.net>.
2001-04-06 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* incorporated patches from David and Michael Johnston at Intel
to get the package to compile for IA-32 linux target.
* Fixed ELILO to compile for Ia-32 (does not execute yet, though):
Makefile and start_kernel() function.
2001-04-06 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
* Fixed config.c to
get the timeout directive to do something. implemented the global
root= directive.
* Fix the efi_main() to deal with the -C option properly
2001-04-05 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* update efi library to latest EFI toolkit 1.02 as distributed
by Intel. Fixed header + library files to compile with GCC
* merged ELI and LILO (as of gnu-efi-1.1) together, mostly
taking the config file feature of ELI.
* renamed LILO to ELILO to make the distinction
* restructured code to make it easier to understand and maintain
* fixed FPSWA driver checking and loading: we try all possible
files and let the driver itself figure out if it is the most
recent.
* added support for compression (gzip) but keep support for plain
ELF image. ELILO autodetects the format
* change the way the kernel is invoked. Now we call it in
physical memory mode. This breaks the dependency between the
kernel code and the loader. No more lilo_start.c madness.
* changed the way the boot_params are passed. We don't use the
ZERO_PAGE_ADDR trick anymore. Instead we use EFI runtime memory.
The address of the structure is passed to the kernel in r28
by our convention.
* released as gnu-efi-2.0
2001-04-03 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c (_relocate): Change return type from "void"
to "int". Return error status if relocation fails for some
reason.
* gnuefi/elf_ia32_efi.lds: Drop unneeded ".rel.reloc" section.
* gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia32.S (_start): Exit if _relocate() returns with
non-zero exit status.
* inc/ia32/efibind.h [__GNUC__]: Force 8-byte alignment for 64-bit
types as that is what EFI appears to be expecting, despite the
"#pragma pack()" at the beginning of the file!
2001-03-29 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c: Add a couple of defines to work around
libc/efilib collision on uint64_t et al.
(_relocate): Use ELF32_R_TYPE() instead of ELFW(R_TYPE)().
* gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia32.S (dummy): Add a dummy relocation entry.
2001-03-29 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>

* Make.defaults (CFLAGS): Remove -nostdinc flags so we can pick
up the C compiler's stdarg.h.
* inc/stdarg.h: Remove this file. It's not correct for gcc (nor
most other optimizing compilers).
2000-10-10 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* cleaned up the error message and printing of those.
* added support to load the FPSWA from a file in case support is not
present in the firmware already
* fixed split_args() to do the right thing when you have leading spaces
before kernel name
* changed the argify() function to rely on \0 instead of LoadOptionSize
as the field seems to be broken with current firmware
* bumped version to 1.0
2000-10-04 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S: Reserve space for up to 750 function descriptors.
* gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Add .sdata section for small data and
put __gp in the "middle" of it.
* gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia64.S (_start): Use movl/add to load
gp-relative addresses that could be out of the range of the addl
offset.
* gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S (_relocate): Ditto.
* apps/Makefile: Remove standard rules and include Make.rules instead.
* lilo/Makefile: Ditto.
* Make.rules: New file.
2000-08-04 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* released version 0.9
* incorporated ACPI changes for Asuza by NEC < kouchi@hpc.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>
* added support for initrd (-i option) original ELI code from Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com>)
* lots of cleanups
* got rid of #ifdef LILO_DEBUG and uses macro instead

* gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Add .srodata, .ctors, .IA64.unwind,
.IA64.unwind_info to .data section and .rela.ctors to .rela
section.
2000-04-03 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* lilo/lilo.c (LILO_VERSION): Up version number to 0.9.
* gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Include .IA_64.unwind and
.IA_64.unwind_info in .data segment to avoid EFI load error
"ImageAddress: pointer outside of image" error due to the .dynsym
relocations against these sections.
* ChangeLog: Moved from lilo/ChangeLogs.
* gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S: fixed typo: .space directive had constant
100 hardcoded instead of using MAX_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTORS
macro. Duh.
Fri Mar 17 15:19:18 PST 2000 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
