[Etherboot-developers] Etherboot 5.1.9 (5.2 release candidate 1) released

[<ke...@et...>]

I have released Etherboot 5.1.9 at http://www.etherboot.org/

This release brings us closer to the 5.2 release. Please try it out and
let know us via the mailing list any problems you encounter. Before it
becomes an FAQ, please note that you must use LTSP kernel-3.0.10 or
later with Etherboot 5.1. If you wish to use an older LTSP kernel with
5.1/5.2 you have to retag the boot image, using the tools in
ltsp_initrd_kit and mknbi-1.4. Not just LTSP kernels but any Linux
kernels tagged with old mknbi's must be retagged, there is a bug in old
mknbi's.

Changes from 5.1.8:

+ Fix for correct SMC8416 detection.

+ Alignment bug fix for the 3c90x driver contributed by Neil Newell.

+ Robb Main found a bug in appending the MACHINE_INFO to the DHCP request.

+ SONE Takeshi fixed the Multiboot structure.

+ Patch from Axel Dittrich to allow timeout to be changed to a fixed
value for peer-to-peer setups where the exponential backoff is not
suitable.

+ Tlan driver contributed by Timothy Legge.

+ Support for symlinks on NFS mounts by Anselm Martin Hoffmeister.

+ Experimental safe booting code by Anselm Martin Hoffmeister.

+ Run Etherboot in an even megabyte so that unsetting A20 won't kill it.
Experimental UNDI driver by Michael Brown.
