flash-kernel (2.10) unstable; urgency=low

   * Temporarily move flash-kernel out of the way in the udeb postinst
     so update-initramfs won't call flash-kernel; otherwise we'd call
     it twice.

flash-kernel (2.9) unstable; urgency=low

   * Pause again when an unknown root is found.
   * Print a better warning when the LABEL is not found.

 -- Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com>  Sun, 24 Aug 2008 21:31:20 +0300

   * Make sure that ROOT in the initramfs is properly quoted.

flash-kernel (2.7) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix UUID warning to refer to the correct directory.
   * Improve warning shown when LABEL doesn't exist in /dev/disk/by-label.
   * Use sda2 rather than sda1 as root device (when parsing of /etc/fstab
     fails) since this is what the installer will use by default.
   * Move GLAN Tank support from glantank-utils/glantank-installer to
     this package.
   * Put in one more step in the progress bar (typically before the long
     update-initramfs call).
   * Stop the progress bar when an error occurs, thanks Frans Pop.

flash-kernel (2.6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Set FSCKFIX=yes in /etc/default/rcS to stop fsck from prompting the
     user for input since most users don't have a serial console.

   * Update the man page to say that flash-kernel now also supports
     devices that require a special boot image on disk.
   * Improve the package description and README.
   * Install mv2120-utils on the HP mv2120 if it's available but don't

flash-kernel (2.0) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Try to install the new ixp4xx-microcode package, falling back to copying
     microcode files only if the installation fails.
   * Remove code to copy ixp4xx-microcode files from d-i to target.
     This is handled more generically by hw-detect version 1.64.
 
   [ Martin Michlmayr ]
   * Add support for HP Media Vault mv2120 (this machine actually boots
     from disk rather then flash; but it makes sense to use the
     infrastructure provided by flash-kernel).
   * Update the package description and README to say that flash-kernel
     makes embedded devices bootable (either by putting the kernel and
     ramdisk in flash or by constructing a specific boot image).
   * Update the debconf notes accordingly, thanks Christian Perrier.
   * Increase the version number to reflect these changes in purpose.
   * Add an ellipsis to progress bar indicators as recommended by
     Christian Perrier.

 -- Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com>  Sun, 29 Jun 2008 14:33:17 +0200

flash-kernel (1.8) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Martin Michlmayr ]
   * Add support for QNAP TS-109/TS-209.
   * Sync the Thecus initramfs-tools hook with the one from nslu2-utils:
     - Support LABEL and UUID in /etc/fstab.
     - Fix fstab parsing to ignore comments.
   * Make the initramfs-tools hook to set the root partition more generic
     and run it on Thecus N2100, QNAP TS-109/TS-209 and Linksys NSLU2.
   * Improve the initramfs-tools hook (to set the root partition):
     - Handle quoted LABELs and UUIDs.  Closes: #471390
     - Check if the specified UUID actually exists.  Closes: #471393
     - Accept multiple = characters in a string.
   * Remove support for the old Intel IXP4xx Ethernet driver.

2007

flash-kernel (1.6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Check whether kernel and ramdisk fit into flash before writing
     them.
   * Use the whole partition available for the ramdisk on NSLU2 (6 MB),
     not just the first 4 MB.  In order to be actually able to use
     ramdisks larger than 4 MB, a new version of APEX is needed though
     (see #451882).
   * Remove Iomega NAS 100d support at the request of Rod Whitby since
     the firmware does CRC checks and this isn't handled yet.

 -- Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com>  Tue, 20 Nov 2007 09:41:57 +0100

flash-kernel (1.5) unstable; urgency=low

     (but still don't write the bogus kernel to flash).

flash-kernel (1.3) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Otavio Salvador ]
   * Replace 'base-installer' dependency by 'installed-base' virtual
     package. Needs base-installer 1.81.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Mon, 18 Jun 2007 17:19:29 -0400

flash-kernel (1.2) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Martin Michlmayr ]
   * Make the parsing code more robust so searching for "foo" won't match
     "foo2".  Thanks, Rod Whitby.
   * Print an error when the subarchitecture of the kernel doesn't match
     that of the device.  Closes: #411551.
 
   [ Rod Whitby ]
   * Add support for Iomega NAS 100d.  Closes: #403017.
 
   [ Gordon Farquharson ]
