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 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.
