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.
