I've put out a test version of efibootmgr, I'd appreciate people with the capabilities to test this and report back. I'm hoping this fixes the cases reported where a 32-bit efibootmgr on a 32-bit kernel wasn't working correctly, but I don't have such equipment to test myself. If it's all good, I'll release it as 0.5.3.
Rogerio, I gave -@ a long option --append-binary-args, rather than --@, to be consistent with the other long options. Thanks to Brad Chen and Ping Wei from Intel for their debugging and patch suggestions. * Thu Aug 11 2005 Matt Domsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - applied patch from Rogerio Timmers which adds a new option -@ <file>, which takes extra variable parameters from <file>, or - from stdin. This lets you pass binary (non-unicode, non-ascii) formatted options to your bootloader. - cleaned up Rogerio's patch some. - moved definition of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 into Makefile and out of the individual .c files. This fixes a bug reported by Red Flag, where variable data was getting incorrectly set with a 32-bit copy of efibootmgr on a 32-bit kernel. - made efi_variable_t.DataSize be an unsigned long to match the kernel. This lets a 32-bit copy of efibootmgr run on a 32-bit kernel. This means you've got to have a 32-bit efibootmgr on a 32-bit kernel, and a 64-bit efibootmgr on a 64-bit kernel, but since efi_status_t is also a long, this was really going to be the case anyway. - valgrind caught the app exiting without freeing some malloc'd structures, fix that. - v0.5.2.2 released for testing http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.2.2.tar.gz http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.2.2.tar.gz.sign Thanks, Matt -- Matt Domsch Software Architect Dell Linux Solutions linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux Linux on Dell mailing lists @ http://lists.us.dell.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
