7 * updated elilo.txt and netbooting.txt
8 * fix a bug in choosers/simple.c:print_infos().
9 it needs to check if config file path is absolute
10 when printing filename.
11 * move definitions of CHAR_SLASH CHAR_BACKSLASH to elilo.h
12 * fix a bug in read_config() where it would try other
13 filename even when the user explicitely specified one
14 via -C, now it fails it that file cannot be opened.
15 * updated simple chooser set of builtin command keys
16 * command keys are only valid if first on the line
17 * increase default buffer size and increment when netbooting
18 2003-06-04 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>

20 of EFI (14.61 or higher) which do not have the
21 TFTP problem anymore. fix submitted by Guy Laborde
22 2003-04-21 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
23 * ext2fs support is turned off by default to avoid

33 2003-01-28 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
34 * fix the set_default_path() routine in glue_localfs.c. It would not
35 correctly get the basename of the devpath. This caused the
36 elilo.conf not to be found sometimes.
37 2003-01-21 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
38 * fix bug in glue_netfs.c convert_ip2decstr() which caused some IP
39 addresses to be incorrectly converted to strings.

51 Bug report and fix by NOMURA Jun'ichi <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com>
52 * rewrote fs/ext2fs.c:read_bytes() to large memory stack buffer which
53 was bigger than the 128KB limit of EFI causing some weird fimrware
54 errors. bug reported by OMURA Jun'ichi <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com>
55 * on IA-64 forbid the use of f32-f127 by the compiler (EFI spec)
56 2002-09-10 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
57 * fix a bug in argify() that was causing an EFI assertion
58 when aborting at the elilo prompt when netbooted.
59 2002-08-26 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>

73 * Changed the despecialization character for the variables from \\ to &
74 to avoid conflicts with \\ as a path separator
75 2002-06-11 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
76 * fixed the return value in efi_main(). elilo was always returning
77 success even in case of failure. Bug reported by Egan Ford <egan@sense.net>
78 * applied patch from Richard Hirst <rhirst@linuxcare.com> to fix an
79 initialization bug in choosers/textmenu.c
80 * applied patch from Richard Hirst <rhirst@linuxcare.com> to make elilo
81 compliant with EFI spec with regards to where it looks for files.
82 With this patch, elilo will look in the directory it was loaded
83 from, not on the root of the partition anymore.
84 2002-03-04 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>

141 2001-08-01 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
142 * fixed bug in fs/netfs.c where it would not handle the small buffer
143 error correctly. The retry path was not allocating a bigger buffer.
144 * Global config options are now used if the user specifies a non-label
145 load target, i.e. a kernel image file.

159 * fixed to wait_timeout() to correct the problem with the interactive prompt when
160 return is hit directly when no text

162 was affecting elilo when called directly from bootmanager with NVRAM options.
164 2001-06-28 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
165 * removed W2U() hack to get from wide-char to unicode. Use -fshort-wchar option instead.
166 * split gnu-efi package in two different packages: the libary+include+crt and the bootloader.
167 * restructured the fileops module. Now use direct function calls.
168 * added support for accessing files on different devices.

170 * created a strops.c file to incorporate all string operations functions.
171 * added support for ext2fs filesystem.
172 * restructured code to allow additional filesystems to be added easily.
173 * cleaned up add-on chooser interface.
174 * restructured code to use the EFI protocol interface to install filesystems.
175 * added compile-time options to turn on and off specific filesystems.
176 * added support for architecture specific configuration options (elilo.conf).
177 * added fpswa option to IA-64 to designate a fpswa driver file.
178 * incoporated IA-32 support from Mike Johnston <michael.johnston@intel.com>
179 * incorporated rewritten gzip.c:flush_window() from Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
180 * added interface for custom device naming schemes (devnames directory).
181 * added support for 2 possible config file (now just on netboot). The first
182 (primary) choice uses a host specific filename based on the IP address. Suggestion
183 from Egan Ford <egan@sense.net>.
185 2001-04-06 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
187 * incorporated patches from David and Michael Johnston at Intel
188 to get the package to compile for IA-32 linux target.
190 * Fixed ELILO to compile for Ia-32 (does not execute yet, though):
191 Makefile and start_kernel() function.
193 2001-04-06 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
196 get the timeout directive to do something. implemented the global
199 * Fix the efi_main() to deal with the -C option properly
201 2001-04-05 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
203 * update efi library to latest EFI toolkit 1.02 as distributed
204 by Intel. Fixed header + library files to compile with GCC
206 * merged ELI and LILO (as of gnu-efi-1.1) together, mostly
207 taking the config file feature of ELI.
209 * renamed LILO to ELILO to make the distinction
211 * restructured code to make it easier to understand and maintain
213 * fixed FPSWA driver checking and loading: we try all possible
214 files and let the driver itself figure out if it is the most
216 * added support for compression (gzip) but keep support for plain
217 ELF image. ELILO autodetects the format
219 * change the way the kernel is invoked. Now we call it in
220 physical memory mode. This breaks the dependency between the
221 kernel code and the loader. No more lilo_start.c madness.
223 * changed the way the boot_params are passed. We don't use the
224 ZERO_PAGE_ADDR trick anymore. Instead we use EFI runtime memory.
225 The address of the structure is passed to the kernel in r28
228 * released as gnu-efi-2.0
230 2001-04-03 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
232 * gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c (_relocate): Change return type from "void"

239 non-zero exit status.
241 * inc/ia32/efibind.h [__GNUC__]: Force 8-byte alignment for 64-bit
242 types as that is what EFI appears to be expecting, despite the
243 "#pragma pack()" at the beginning of the file!
245 2001-03-29 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
247 * gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c: Add a couple of defines to work around
248 libc/efilib collision on uint64_t et al.
249 (_relocate): Use ELF32_R_TYPE() instead of ELFW(R_TYPE)().
251 * gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia32.S (dummy): Add a dummy relocation entry.
253 2001-03-29 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
255 * gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c: Add a couple of defines to work around
256 libc/efilib collision on uint64_t et al.
257 (_relocate): Use ELF32_R_TYPE() instead of ELFW(R_TYPE)().
259 * gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia32.S (dummy): Add a dummy relocation entry.
261 2000-10-26 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
263 * gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Mention .rela.sdata.
265 * Make.defaults (CFLAGS): Remove -nostdinc flags so we can pick
266 up the C compiler's stdarg.h.
268 * inc/stdarg.h: Remove this file. It's not correct for gcc (nor
269 most other optimizing compilers).

273 * cleaned up the error message and printing of those.
274 * added support to load the FPSWA from a file in case support is not
275 present in the firmware already
276 * fixed split_args() to do the right thing when you have leading spaces
278 * changed the argify() function to rely on \0 instead of LoadOptionSize
279 as the field seems to be broken with current firmware
280 * bumped version to 1.0
282 2000-10-04 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
284 * gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S: Reserve space for up to 750 function descriptors.
286 * gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Add .sdata section for small data and
287 put __gp in the "middle" of it.
289 * gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia64.S (_start): Use movl/add to load
290 gp-relative addresses that could be out of the range of the addl
292 * gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S (_relocate): Ditto.
294 * apps/Makefile: Remove standard rules and include Make.rules instead.
295 * lilo/Makefile: Ditto.
297 * Make.rules: New file.

306 * added exit capability just before starting the kernel
308 2000-06-22 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
310 * gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Add .srodata, .ctors, .IA64.unwind,
311 .IA64.unwind_info to .data section and .rela.ctors to .rela
314 2000-04-03 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
316 * lilo/lilo.c (LILO_VERSION): Up version number to 0.9.
318 * gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Include .IA_64.unwind and
319 .IA_64.unwind_info in .data segment to avoid EFI load error
320 "ImageAddress: pointer outside of image" error due to the .dynsym
321 relocations against these sections.
323 * ChangeLog: Moved from lilo/ChangeLogs.
325 * gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S: fixed typo: .space directive had constant
326 100 hardcoded instead of using MAX_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTORS
329 Fri Mar 17 15:19:18 PST 2000 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
332 * replace the getopt.c with new version free with better license
