[Leaf-devel] Oxygen with unpatched Kernel (2.2.20)

[David D. <ss...@ma...>]

Now available for your perusal!

This is a NEW development branch; the "previous" oxygen series
(oxygen-12xx01) will be released as 1.8.  This is now 1.9, though the
versions have not yet been changed.

Some caveats: the boot-time module loading is not working, and IDE is
now a boot-time module.  This means: 1) the network does not come up
on boot; 2) IDE drives (and CDROMs) are not recognized at boot; 3)
packages cannot be loaded from CDROMs on boot.

However, for a first try at an unpatched kernel, this is okay.  Just
press enter on startup for the default "linux" option with the
"oxygen.cfg" configuration.

The original boot ramdisk is available under /initrd after boot.

The file is
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/pub/oxygen/development/oxygen-1.9-3.ima

If anyone can figure out why insmod fails on boot that would be
nice....
