From: Etienne Lorrain on 16 Jun 2010 19:10 There is a new version v2.8.2 of the Gujin bootloader at http://gujin.org and sourceforge with bugfixes and improvements, and Debian/Fedora packages for easy installation on i386/amd64 PC. The major improvements are the possibility to review/edit the final command line of the Linux kernel when selecting by Shift-F1..Shift-F12 or holding the shift key when selecting with the mouse; recognition of Rock Ridge on ISO9660, and the direct booting of unmodified live CDROM images stored in /boot or in the top-level of a partition by automagically adding one of: "from=" for CD images with label "NimbleX*" "fromiso=" for CD images with label "sidux*" and "Elive*" "root=live:LABEL=...:/" for CD images with label "Fedora*", "F1*", "rhel*", "CentOS*" "iso-scan/filename=" for any other (debian/ubuntu derivatives) The correct commandline for those live CD images is provided by a "distributed" file named "gujin.cmd" (i.e. all files found with this name are concat'ed and then treated), a real world example is in the source and install archive. It would be nice if live-cdrom author would create a file named gujin.cmd in the directory of the kernel containing: ::vmlinu*:initr*::name to appear on Gujin menu:essential command line parameters ::vmlinu*:initr*::alternative name:alternative parameters The file "changelog.wri" in the source archive describes many other modifications, fixing a lot of bugs. Downloads at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gujin/files/ Have fun, Etienne. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ |
