Mon Aug 25 12:00:00 2003 Nicolas Planel 3.4.43-8mdk

tweaked/fixed dsdt acpi table. (default file /boot/dsdt.aml)

Mon Aug 11 12:00:00 2003 Guillaume Cottenceau 3.4.43-7mdk
- mkinitrd -h moves, suggested by houpla:
(ex: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.21-6mdk 2.4.21-6mdk)
->
(ex: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.21-6mdk.img 2.4.21-6mdk)

Fri Aug 1 12:00:00 2003 Guillaume Cottenceau 3.4.43-6mdk
- support 2.5 thx to Andrey Borzenkov :
- check for kernel version. It is needed to enable build under different
kernel (where modprobe -c cannot be used). Use either /etc/modules.conf
or /etc/modprobe.conf
- parse module-init-tools \"install ... /sbin/modprobe ...\"; it is not
foolproof but should do as long as modprobe.conf is kept consistent
- add insmod-25-DIET directly based on insmod from module-init-tools;
install it as insmod on non-dietlibc archs if version >= 2.5

Tue Jul 8 12:00:00 2003 Guillaume Cottenceau 3.4.43-5mdk
- ignore modules before processing dependencies, to not end up with
loading usbcore when probeall contains usb-storage (#4160)

- use system dietlibc, insmod busybox 0.60.5 on x86-64 too

Tue Apr 15 12:00:00 2003 Guillaume Cottenceau 3.4.43-3mdk
- add some buildrequires
- don\'t build unneeded grubby

Thu Apr 10 12:00:00 2003 Guillaume Cottenceau 3.4.43-2mdk
- fix broken error handling when \"mount -o loop\" fails (via side-effect,
this lead to breaking mkinitrd generation during install)

Thu Apr 3 12:00:00 2003 Guillaume Cottenceau 3.4.43-1mdk
- merge RH version
- add automatic modules deps handling (#3614 and so many more..)
- this makes two good reasons to plank the children

options

Thu Aug 8 12:00:00 2002 Warly 3.1.6-30mdk

mount devfs with device \"none\" for consistency

Fri Jan 25 11:00:00 2002 Guillaume Cottenceau 3.1.6-20mdk
- use relative symlinks in the initrd, because ls from new fileutils
produced \"No such file or directory\" on broken symlinks

Thu Jan 17 11:00:00 2002 Guillaume Cottenceau 3.1.6-19mdk
- now that find has been moved to /bin we use find again (speed)

up with modules from /lib/modules/
*/build/../../../usr/src/
*/...

Wed Jan 9 11:00:00 2002 Guillaume Cottenceau 3.1.6-17mdk

emulating \"wc -w\" with a for

Wed Dec 19 11:00:00 2001 Guillaume Cottenceau 3.1.6-15mdk
- replace `find\' (which is in /usr/bin) by a shell-based equivalent
=> mkinitrd should be usable without /usr mounted, now, hopefully
- fix no-url-tag

Mon Dec 17 11:00:00 2001 Guillaume Cottenceau 3.1.6-14mdk
- integrate Chmouel\'s patch [to check that the tmpdir underlying fs is not
tmpfs nor nfs (since we need lomount capability)]

Tue Dec 11 11:00:00 2001 Stew Benedict 3.1.6-13mdk
- kernel 2.4.16 brings PPC behavior of real-root-device inline with x86

is so large \"mkbootdisk\" fails in almost all situations now :-(
- refine Requires:

Fri Sep 14 12:00:00 2001 Guillaume Cottenceau 3.1.6-7mdk
- argh, rootflags broke root on loopback, fix
- safety: when a mount with flags fails, try to mount without the flags

- remove duplicate scsi modules for safety

Thu Sep 13 12:00:00 2001 Guillaume Cottenceau 3.1.6-5mdk

modular); and when / has mount opts

- support XFS (chmouel)
- say that our version is \"3.1.6-mdk\" to tell that it\'s patched for mdk

Fri Sep 7 12:00:00 2001 Guillaume Cottenceau 3.1.6-2mdk
- honours quiet mode (again) (needed to fix a RH bug, ouch)

Wed Sep 5 12:00:00 2001 Guillaume Cottenceau 3.1.6-1mdk
- synchronize with redhat stuff (for their way of mounting root fs)
- try to keep all (good) our patches, hope not too much is broken...

Mon Aug 20 12:00:00 2001 Guillaume Cottenceau 3.0.1-1mdk
- because of devfs, I need to have my special dev files in another
directory than /dev, because devfs will shadow my dev files :-(
(applies to loopback-on-/ and raid-on-/)
- use IS_IX86 instead of the is_ix86 function

Fri Aug 3 12:00:00 2001 Guillaume Cottenceau 3.0-1mdk

patch on a 450 lines original file), fork to ease maintainance
- merge RH interesting changes (mkinitrd-3.1.5 from RH)
- added checks to load the modules i2o_block needs
- skip errors finding jbd as a module if we\'re skipping them trying to find
ext3 so that you can build a kernel with ext3 built-in and still use an
initrd (MDK: we don\'t have ext3 yet, but we\'ll have it soon)
- prepend /(I|W|E):/ in front of all messages
- don\'t let \"cat\" fail on empty files in verbose mode

Tue Apr 10 12:00:00 2001 Guillaume Cottenceau 2.7-11mdk

don\'t complain if they are not.
- changed --no-scsi-modules to --omit-scsi-modules (as it should have been)

Thu Nov 5 11:00:00 1998 Jeff Johnson
- import from ultrapenguin 1.1.

Tue Oct 20 12:00:00 1998 Jakub Jelinek

- Changed to use a build tree, then copy the finished tree into the
image after it is built.
- Added patches derived from ones written by Christian Hechelmann which
add an option to put the kernel version number at the end of the module
name and use install -s to strip binaries on the fly.
