btrfs: print an error if finding compressed/encrypted data

2010-07-06T00:50:13+00:00

If we find compressed or encrypted data, print an error message
instead of returning garbage.  This is suboptimal, but at least
handles the common subcase of an encrypted configuration file.

core: add a ms-denominated timer

2010-07-05T22:41:36+00:00

Add a timer denominated in milliseconds.  This is still driven by the
18.2 Hz timer interrupt, but counts "real" milliseconds, including
handing the adjustment factor (which in reality means it advances by
55 for most timer ticks and 54 for some.)

core: split loadconfig.c into two files

2010-07-02T23:19:59+00:00

Split loadconfig.c into two files.  In particular, isolinux needs
search_config() but not generic_load_config().

core: merge the configfile-searching code, isolinux generic names

2010-07-02T23:13:44+00:00

Merge the config file searching code between syslinux and isolinux,
and make isolinux also recognize the generic names "syslinux" and
"syslinux.cfg".  Thus, isolinux now searches for configuration files
in the following order:

	/boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
	/boot/isolinux/syslinux.cfg
	/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
	/isolinux/syslinux.cfg
	/boot/syslinux/isolinux.cfg
	/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
	/syslinux/isolinux.cfg
	/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
	/isolinux.cfg
	/syslinux.cfg

core: always canonicalize the configuration file name

2010-07-02T23:01:19+00:00

The FAT installers may not produce a canonical pathname in the
CurrentDirName field on entry.  Make sure that the core doesn't croak
when that happens, and still produces an absolute pathname for the
configuration file.

pxelinux: new IPAPPEND 4 to generate a SYSUUID= option.

2010-07-02T02:44:53+00:00

Add a new IPAPPEND option to generate a SYSUUID= option with the
in-system UUID.

core, diskio: reset controller between EDD retries

2010-07-02T01:10:22+00:00

As documented in the old assembly code, reset the disk controller
between retries when using EDD.  We don't want to do that for CHS,
since a reset shuts down the floppy motor, and we might be suffering a
timeout.

comboot.inc: vk_append is a field in a struct, not an address

2010-07-02T01:01:58+00:00

We want to use VKernelBuf as temporary storage, not vk_append.
vk_append is an offset into a larger buffer, and we ended up
corrupting low BIOS memory.

core, diskio: skip EDD/CHS detect for CD-ROMs

2010-07-01T14:20:04+00:00

Skip EDD and CHS detection if we know it is a CD-ROM, because some
CD-ROMs possibly report bad information, and/or screw up the stack,
possibly permanently.
