[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] LILO 22.5.7-beta3 released (Beta branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '22.5.7-beta3' of
'LILO' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can be
found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/lilo/

The changes in this release are as follows:
This version addresses a screen clearing problem  in the first stage
loader, which was entirely  rewritten to avoid the FF emulation code.
 Problems with the 2.4.21 kernel and hardware  RAID controllers were
fixed, and the boot  installer is now friendlier to devfs kernels. 
The -M switch now installs Master Boot Loaders  that pass lilo
parameters transparently using  the chain loader, and the "-T geom"
switch now  has more complete and useful output. "mkrescue"  now
dynamically determines the loopback device  in use and works with
devfs.  

Project description:
LILO is a Boot loader for Linux/x86 and other PC operating systems. It
is responsible for loading your Linux kernel from either a floppy or
a hard drive and passing control to it. It is capable of booting
beyond cylinder 1024 of a hard disk if the BIOS supports EDD packet
call extensions to the int 0x13 interface. LILO can also be used to
boot many other operating systems, including DOS, Windows (all
versions), OS/2, and the BSD variants. The LILO distribution includes
full source, documentation and support files.
