LILO release 22.8 is based upon Werner Almesberger's LILO version 21.
Version 22.8 is a minor update to 22.7.3
o Compile with DEVMAPPER (device-mapper or LVM2) if library is present.
o Add 'nodevcache' configuration file keyword.
o Allow root device specification with UUID in addition to LABEL.
Version 22.7.3 is a bugfix update to 22.7.2
o Correct table entry for experimental major device 253.
o Correct PC/AT keyboard check when NOKEYBOARD compile option is used.
Version 22.7.2 is a minor update to version 22.7.1
o Keywords "noraid", "nokbdefault", "nokbdisable" are added.
o Compensate for common BIOS bug (sectors==0) on USB disk drives.
o Increase kernel command line to 512 bytes.
Version 22.7.1 is a minor update to version 22.7
o Expand device major/minor numbers to more than 8 bits.
o Apply security updates to 'mkrescue' & 'QuickInst'.
o Allow any keystrike (not just Shift) to display 'boot:' menu, or to escape
from
a stored command line.
Version 22.7 is a minor update to version 22.6.1
o Add the DOS/Windows utility 'lilo.com' which implements the -q -R -V (-C -m)
switches. This utility may be used to set the boot command line if the sector
map file is on a DOS/Windows partition.
o Add bulletproofing for "unattended" so that a spurious <CR> character can
be ignored.
o Select boot descriptors based upon partially typed names in all situations
except "unattended".
Versions 22.6.*, 22.5.*, 22.4, 22.3, 22.2, 22.1, 22.0 are major updates to
version 21.
*** THE VERSION 22 RAID1 IMPLEMENTATION IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH VERSION 21.
Those using version 21 should read 'README.raid1' before installing these
new codes. There is a compatibility mode (lilo -x mbr-only) for existing
RAID1 installations which are not going to be converted to the Version 22
implementation.
