Hi all,
First, Ralf you impress me !!
A new version of milo is about to be seen in "beta-test" before
going to be 0.26 release: major change -> the famous New Argument
Passing Scheme, which - I believe, as Ralf convinced me :) - will
allow us to have a general way of passing any kind of data between
Milo and the kernel, or even between any bootloader that would have to
be written for not-yet-known (or Dec?? ;) Mips boxes and the kernel.
So patches on last Ralf kernel sources - as long as 1.2.11 - a "beta"
milo 0.26 are to be expected at the same time on ftp.fnet.fr : then I
hope Ralf will be kind enought :) to release any subsequent kernel
with the NASP support (bootinfo struct will not be supported anymore)
and well a milo 0.26 will be out after 2 or 3 successfull test on
boxes (mostly to be sure that I didn't wrong stuff by reporting boxes
bootinfo stuff to the NASP tags).
Next step for the NASP: throw out the 8x16.c from the kernel. I'll
try to put that in 0.26 and the kernel patches I'm tuning...
*Well*, this message is intended to call for patches on milo, if any
are sleeping around - after 6 month without a release :)
Cheers, Stoned.
