Hi,
A new version of the Gujin bootloader has been released, with those
improvements:
- Uses now by default the 16 bits entry point of bzImage Linux files (zImage not
supported) and do not uncompress the initrd, under the control of the "force
bzImage protocol" of the graphic menu, or the "/p" parameter of tiny.exe.
- Able to load (gzip'ed) 64 bits ELF files with the ".kgz" extension (like 32
bits
ELF - with possible section at ELF address 0 for the real-mode part) as long as
the entry point is a 32 bits entry point (i.e. use runadr=0x200000 parameter
inside the comment field of the GZIP'ed ELF64 file).
- Uses if possible/autodetected the name of the filesystem in "root=LABEL="
Linux parameter, instead of the autodetected "root=/dev/hd[a-z][0-9]".
- Important fixes in the demo cleandisk.kgz standalone application (linker file
cleandisk.ld change) directly runable from Gujin, with full disk, graphic and
mouse support.
- Longer timeout (change from 4 to 8 seconds) to read a CDROM sector, so that
new
ultra speed DVD-RAM drives can be booted...
- More bugfixes, like when chain-loading floppy images from CDROMs or USD
drives,
loading the last uncomplete block of the initrd...
Have fun,
Etienne.
