kexec-loader 1.6.2 released

Posted in kexec-loader on 13 Jan 2009 at 02:07 UTC

kexec-loader v1.6.2 released, this is mostly a bugfix release, the shell no longer has autocompletion since I rewrote it to fix a bug, autocompletion will be back soon(ish). The disk image uses Linux 2.6.25 since 2.6.13 doesn't compile under GCC 4.3, somthing will break, it always does.

kexec-loader 1.6.1 released

v1.6.1 released, the main changes are shell autocompletion and bugfixes, see ChangeLog for a full list.

I've also uploaded a precompiled initramfs for v1.6.1 which will make it easier to compile custom kernels and updated the nightly build script to copy the initramfs to the nightly download directory.

kexec-loader 1.5 released

Version 1.5 released, main feature is the ability to load kernel modules.
You may need to download the module pack as well as the floppy image because the kernel only has support for USB drives and FAT compiled in.

kexec-loader 1.4.3 released (I'm an idiot)

Released version 1.4.3, this fixes the bug of kexec-loader freezing when you don't set grub_root.

Why the hell don't I test anything?!

kexec-loader 1.4.2

Posted in kexec-loader on 27 Jul 2008 at 19:06 UTC

Version 1.4.2 released

The only feature added in this release is the ability to load multiboot modules in menu.lst, the rest of the changes are code cleanup.

As anyone who reads the TODO will notice, the next version will have support for loading Linux kernel modules! This will allow the stock image to be far smaller, then you can add any modules you need later.
The shell should also be getting an upgrade sometime too.
