kexec-loader 1.6 released

Posted in kexec-loader on 13 Nov 2008 at 21:00 UTC

kexec-loader v1.6 has been released, this release includes a rewritten shell and several important bugfixes. I've also updated the nightly build script to produce images using modular kernels instead of the old static ones.

kexec-loader 1.5 released

Posted in kexec-loader on 07 Aug 2008 at 20:36 UTC

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)

Posted in kexec-loader on 28 Jul 2008 at 20:15 UTC

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

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.

Nightly builds of kexec-loader can be found here, for those who want to try some of the more experimental features without building a disk image.

kexec-loader 1.3 released

Posted in kexec-loader on 05 May 2008 at 00:00 UTC

kexec-loader v1.3 is now released, the biggest change in this release is support for reading GRUB menu.lst and device.map files to allow directly using this in place of GRUB on systems which have autogenerated GRUB configurations.

kexec-loader 1.2 released

Posted in kexec-loader on 26 Apr 2008 at 00:00 UTC

kexec-loader v1.2 has been released, it has many changes, including a new build system allowing for smaller and easier to create initramfs's, it also has a full README written by Philip Kent (lsproc).

I am considering making an online tool for generating disk images similar to http://www.rom-o-matic.net/. Any comments, thoughts or ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.
