Fix missing option -s in libinstaller

2010-09-09T18:47:33+00:00

In 'libinstaller/syslxopt.c' on line 71 the "s" (undercast) is missing in:

   const char short_options[] = "t:fid:UuzS:H:rvho:OM:ma";

Adding the 's' there seems to solve our problem.

pxe: add a "pxeretry" option to deal with 404's in web apps

2010-08-26T21:45:53+00:00

For web downloads, sometimes a mirror site will not be fully synced.
Add an option to retry the open a specific number of times before
giving up.

extlinux: try to get the disk offset from sysfs

2010-08-14T00:27:44+00:00

It is possible(?) that HDIO_GETGEO can't return the full offset, and
in either case it is too small -- only 32 bits on 32-bit platforms.
Thus query sysfs for the real value, if available.

sysfs also contains information for slave devices -- this is going to
really matter for the md/lvm issues.

The disk number is set twice in diskio.c/edd_rdwr_sectors() this patch
removes the redundant setting.

core: look for invalid MBR handover information address

2010-08-11T17:42:51+00:00

The Win7 MBR doesn't provide proper handover information.  Instead, it
leaves DS:SI = 0:0x7e00, so reject that information as invalid on
grounds that it is pointed into the bootloader area.
