Hello all,
I have written about a bug of "'bootstrap'".
Of a compressed kernel loading error.
It was not a true bug but a size limit of the preprocessor symbol
ZFILE_N_CHUNKS that is found in file linuxboot.c at line 1654.
The size now is limited to 2MBytes but the compressed kernel i
loaded (From Debian Package) had a final size of 2101854 that is bigger.
I wish to propose that the value of that symbol be modified
from 2*1024*1024/ZFILE_CHUNK_SIZE
to 4*1024*1024/ZFILE_CHUNK_SIZE
that can work with final sizes upto 4Megs because the
2.4 kernels may be bigger than 3Megs
For Michel,
the APUS 2.2.10 kernel in the Debian Package has no floppy-disk
support.
Could you please add it and make a new 2.2.10 Debian Package?
Thank you.
P.S. The same will be for the 2.4.xx kernel that you are going to
package.
Kind regards
