Raw Blame History

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>
* integrated ia32 compressed kernel support from Matt Tolentino
<matthew.e.tolentino@intel.com>
2003-08-20 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* released 3.4
2003-08-19 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* integrated ia32 updates from Matt
Tolentino <matthew.e.tolentino@intel.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.
* updated simple chooser set of builtin command keys
* command keys are only valid if first on the line
* increase default buffer size and increment when netbooting
2003-06-04 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* fix fs/netfs.c to work with recent version
of EFI (14.61 or higher) which do not have the
TFTP problem anymore. fix submitted by Guy Laborde
2003-04-21 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* ext2fs support is turned off by default to avoid
problems with ext3-formatted partitions.

when using BOOTP (DHCP) only. The prefix is then used for all files
open via netfs. Suggestion and initial patch by Guy Laborde from HP.
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>

to avoid conflicts with \\ as a path separator
2002-06-11 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>

success even in case of failure. Bug reported by Egan Ford <egan@sense.net>

initialization bug in choosers/textmenu.c
* applied patch from Richard Hirst <rhirst@linuxcare.com> to make elilo

2001-08-15 Brent Casavant <bcasavan@sgi.com>
* fix a bug in config.c:find_option() where it would do
a strXcmp() on a NULL string.
2001-08-01 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* fixed bug in fs/netfs.c where it would not handle the small buffer

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.
* split gnu-efi package in two different packages: the libary+include+crt and the bootloader.
* 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.

* 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>)

.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>
