ELKS 0.0.81 has been released and is available from:-
ftp://linux.mit.edu/pub/ELKS/kernel/elks-0.0.81/
ftp://ftp.ecs.soton.ac.uk/pub/elks/elks-0.0.81/
This release contains one major bug fix, and two new features.
The bug that caused many miscellaneous inode bugs including problems with
permissions, and problems mounting filesystems has been fixed. It was
caused by a missing line in the inode lookup code.
Christian Mardmuller ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) has contributed the code required to
build ELKS so that it can be booted from ROM. It is now possible by
specifying an option in the config to build a kernel image which can be
programmed into a ROM, installed in a network card or something similar
and booted.
The old timer mechanism in the scheduler has been replaced with a much more
compact version which should be sufficient for our needs. This reduces code
size considerably, and should speed up the scheduler code.
Please report any bugs to the mailing list at [EMAIL PROTECTED], or
to the online bug tracking system at http://www.elks.ecs.soton.ac.uk/bugs.
