bootcd (3.23) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed bug, in bootcdwrite where genisoimage did not use option
-graft-points, (although it should use it with versions of
mkisofs>=1.13) because the version of genisoimage was not correct
calculated by bootcdwrite. This results in the exact same bug
"bootcd fails because of deleted path" as reported by
"Hans-J. Ullrich" <hans.ullrich@loop.de>. But now we could
reproduce it. Closes: #562560

bootcd (3.20) unstable; urgency=low
* Support Kernels with ramdisk as module (as used in squeeze).
- S12bootcdram.sh loads ramdisk Module (brd) if it exists
- S12bootcdram.sh may have to create /dev/ram2 manually
- bootcd-check.lib now accepts kernels with
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=[m|y]
* Support newer login that does not allow devices outside of /dev
- bootcdwrite makes sure /etc/securetty has full path when running from
bootcd
- bootcd2disk restores original /etc/securetty

* This is the first try to support Grub2.
Maybe it is more sure to use Grub for now.
* check that if bootcd-mkinitramfs is installed, it has modified the
correct initrd. While installing bootcd-mkinitramfs it only
modifies the actual running initrd, other initrds have to be modified
manually. The check tells the command to execute.
* Added sr_mod to the MANUAL_MODULES in bootcdmodprobe. Thanks to
Kushal Koolwal <kushalkoolwal@hotmail.com> and
Daniel Wozniak <dan@edgeos.com>. Successfuly tested squeeze kernel
vmlinuz-2.6.32-3-686. Fixed bugs reported by

are named *.ko instead of *.o.
* Both of the bugs described above can lead to the type of bug reported
by: Rob Ristroph <rgr@sdf.lonestar.org> and Marc Brandes
<M.Brandes@tu-braunschweig.de> "cd cannot boot -- /sbin/init cannot
open dev/console". I think now it is solved. Please test it and

"mkinitrd looks for /bin/discover instead of /usr/bin/discover".
bootcdmkinitrd now searches for discover in /sbin, /bin, and /usr/bin.
Because entries done by bootcdmkinitrd in /etc/mkinitrd have not been
marked before, it might be neccessary this time to delete the wrong entry
by hand in /etc/mkinitrd/exe. Closes: #287189

sence. Closes: #286359
