[ Michael Prokop ] * grml2usb-compat: drop duplicated boot=live bootoptions. * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4 (no further changes). * Add syslinux additionally to recommends so people should have syslinux by available by default though don't explicitly require it. -- Michael Prokop Sun, 21 Feb 2010 16:52:23 +0100 grml2usb (0.9.21) unstable; urgency=low [ Michael Prokop ] * Document the Boot error issue regarding USB-ZIP.

[ Michael Prokop ] * Update documentation regarding syslinux and FAT32 (thanks to Stefan Traby for the hint). * Changes with regards to Ulrich's work: - Add a check to identify old ISOs which do not ship a default.cfg file and abort then. We have to break backward compatibility, otherwise the isolinux/syslinux code would become worse than it's already nowadays. - Search for isolinux files in /boot/isolinux/ so the correct grml.png is used. - Support setting bootoptions in syslinux.cfg * Drop duplicated boot=live references in kernel cmdline. * Apply patch from Thorsten Glaser which prepares code for his future[tm] work. * Raise CriticalException if filesystem.module, kernel or initrd are not present. * Avoid the "file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ?" question of mtools by syslinux. * Inform user when using grub as bootloader. * Make syslinux the default bootloader (drop --syslinux, add --grub instead). Grub fails just too often. -- Michael Prokop Wed, 21 Oct 2009 22:25:57 +0200 grml2usb (0.9.12) unstable; urgency=low * Replace 'logging.*("%s" % foo)' with 'logging.*("%s", foo)' so the logging works with python2.6 as well. -- Michael Prokop Thu, 10 Sep 2009 16:21:06 +0200 grml2usb (0.9.11) unstable; urgency=low * Improve handling the 'No space left on device' situation through using an according rsync handler function. -- Michael Prokop Mon, 07 Sep 2009 23:05:30 +0200 grml2usb (0.9.10) unstable; urgency=low * Support the directory where the grml2usb script resides as base directory so /usr/share/grml2usb isn't necessarily needed. Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth ! * Make sure grub.conf isn't a symlink but a plain file instead, otherwise it will break on FAT16 filesystems. This works around grub-install of (at least) Fedora 10. Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth ! * Use 'pci=nomsi' in failsafe bootoption. Thanks to Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt. * Mention the --syslinux option if grub-install fails. * Fix usage of --force in combination with --fat16. Thanks to Johannes Endres and Reiko Kaps for the bugreport. * Replace hint to '--grub' with 'grub'. * New option --grub-mbr which allows installation of grub in MBR instead of installation into a partition (PBR) which is necessary when using grub2. -- Michael Prokop Mon, 07 Sep 2009 17:12:54 +0200 grml2usb (0.9.9) unstable; urgency=low * Use ascii.pf2 as grub2 font, since grub2 (1.96+20090307-1) the old ascii.pff isn't available anymore. * Use terminal_output if available, otherwise fallback to old older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping). * Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR' issue. * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it. Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information. * Increase timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration. * Load memtest86+ binary via 'linux16' in grub2 (otherwise it fails). * Drop the serial boot entry from grub2 (I assume users with usb pens don't need that option). * Change the way MirOS bsd4grml is loaded (use the fallback method as default). * Improve descriptions of grml's grub2 entries. * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no further changes). * Fix creation and installation of grub1's configuration file (menu.lst).
