Since palo requires GNU make, this gives an option to set MAKE=gnumake on HP-UX. * Disable getopt library on HP-UX. * Do not hardcode gcc compiler in Makefile, e.g. on HP-UX aCC can be used. * Use printf("0x%08x") instead of printf("%p"), which is not supported on HP-UX. * Provide endianess byteswapping functions for HP-UX. * Provide pre-built README file to avoid dependency on lynx.

Test build on sid and dapper on hppa and sid/i386. * Use userspace-sanitized ext2_fs.h file from e2fsprogs; we still need to include some kernel headers for per-arch types and endian conversions. -- Kyle McMartin Mon, 2 Jan 2006 12:16:36 -0500 palo (1.11) unstable; urgency=low * Flush Instruction Cache insn now requires space register to be specified.

The check in palo.c has been adjusted to 127. * Change PALO to build without kernel headers: - Remove conditional header includes depending on kernel version - Remove the #include directive for fs.h in ipl/ext2.c. - Remove the #include directive for time.h in /ipl/ipl.c. - Add ./include/asm and ./include/linux/byteorder to accomodate for all the new asm/* and linux/byteorder/* header files that are required to build PALO without kernel headers. -- Paul Bame Tue, 6 Aug 2002 08:47:57 -0600 palo (1.0) unstable; urgency=low * Fix package override so debian/rules changes should now be honored, causing PALO to be built on all architectures. priority optional.

(Richard Hirst) * Only generate iplboot if building on hppa machines. debian-cd needs PALO, and is likely to be run on i386. (Richard Hirst) * --bootloader now defaults to /usr/share/palo/iplboot, so it is usually not required. Adjust documents slightly to accomodate. * Add postinstall/prerm scripts to handle changed iplboot location. -- Paul Bame Sat, 8 Sep 2001 12:32:21 -0600 palo (0.93) unstable; urgency=low * Fix boot loader "guess" logic to be smarter on dual-width-capable machines when only one kernel is available. * Remove a couple of gratuitous printfs. * Archive link PALO. Not a bad idea otherwise but required because dpkg-shlibdeps started whining. I'm sure I'll get grief for this. -- Paul Bame Wed, 11 Jul 2001 11:00:17 -0600 palo (0.92) unstable; urgency=low * Remove SOM loader code. * If the user hasn't specified one, PALO/ipl adds the correct console= to the command line based on whether the boot console is full (ttyS0, serial) or half (tty0, graphics) duplex. Also adds sti= and sti_font= if they're missing. * PALO header version is now 3. Can store both a 32 and a 64-bit kernel in the F0/sequential/CDROM formats. * When booting from F0/sequential/CDROM PALO guesses the 32/64-ness by asking firmware if the user doesn't specify 0/vmlinux64 or 0/vmlinux32. On boxes which support both 32 and 64, 32 is chosen. * If no TERM= in kernel cmd line, when guessing serial/sti, add TERM=vt102 for former and TERM=linux for latter. * Print boot command line even in non-interactive mode. * Place kernels and ramdisks on 2k boundaries on sequential media to help avoid reverse seeks during boot. -- Paul Bame Wed, 20 Jun 2001 10:21:06 -0600 palo (0.91) unstable; urgency=high * Fix check which causes some narrow IPL loads to fail. -- Paul Bame Tue, 29 May 2001 11:39:23 -0600 palo (0.90) unstable; urgency=low * Add support for calling PDC/IODC in wide mode (i.e., for Superdome). PALO ipl continues to run in narrow mode on all platforms, except that PDC/IODC calls are made in the mode that ipl was started in. -- Bjorn Helgaas Tue, 15 May 2001 13:17:21 -0600 palo (0.89) unstable; urgency=high * PALO can now prepare disks >2G on 32-bit kernels, even though it is not using large file I/O calls, which are not useful yet anyway.

Example in /usr/share/doc/palo. Should have some post-install magic to offer to run palo if /etc/palo.conf exists, and a complaint if /etc/palo.conf doesn't exist because you should have one from running the installer. * Change palo to a native Debian package since it's maintained as one. -- Paul Bame Fri, 11 May 2001 16:07:18 -0600 palo (0.86-1) unstable; urgency=high * Probably required to support later non-0xc0100000 kernels. -- Paul Bame Wed, 14 Feb 2001 15:22:45 -0700 palo (0.85-1) unstable; urgency=low * Initial Release. -- Paul Bame Thu, 18 Jan 2001 18:49:42 -0700
