gbootroot (1.3.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Now the template called Helper.yard used to create the
root_fs_helper is included with root_fs_helper.
* 1.3.4 was awarded Editor's pick by SoftLandMark, but I recommend
upgrading to 1.3.5 because of my oversight with the root_fs_helper
issue, as well as the improved initrd testing capability of the
specially patched 2.4.17-10um kernel. I also recommend running
gbootroot as a normal user, at least that's what I usually do. :)
* Root_fs_helper was working fine, but because I hadn't committed, let
alone copied the new changes to CVS I didn't notice any aberrations
until I installed the new released version of gbootroot. This is
related to the new securretty requirements of uml. Problem fixed.
* Initrd was not working with any fs other than ext2. After
contacting the trinux-uml project, Matthew Franz <mfranz@cisco.com>
confirmed that he was having problems creating a working uml for the
initrd created by Bill Burdick <bill@appliedreasoning.com>. I
talked Bill into sending me his uml .config, and narrowed down the
problem to cramfs. Cramfs has known bugs as documented in the
kernel sources. Because cramfs was placed before just about every
fs in the VFS check order, and trinux-uml's initrd was minix, the
kernel failed, but an ext2 initrd didn't. Changing the order in
which filesystems are checked during the VFS stage by editing
fs/Makefile solves the problem. Thanks to Henrik Nordstrom
<hno@marasystems.com> for pointing out how to do this at user-mode-
linux-devel. I am hoping the patch found in user-mode-
linux/usr/lib/uml/cramfs-vfs-oder.patch becomes part of uml. This
should have been corrected ages ago in the standard Linux kernel.
* Removed unecessary warning which warned that left-hand side
replacements couldn't be a directory if it happened to find that
directory on the hostfs. Directories can be replacements.
