linux-toradex.git/arch/x86/boot/tools, branch v3.2 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules x86, build: Do not set the root_dev field in bzImage 2011-05-25T19:46:05+00:00 Michal Marek mmarek@suse.cz 2011-04-12T11:30:24+00:00 079f85e624189292d1c818b47764916bf8cf84a8 This has been obsoleted by the root= commandline and the rdev utility for many, many years. People who still depend on this will surely have a copy of the rdev utility around, the rest of the world gets rid of another piece of buildhost-dependent data in the build. Thanks to Paul Bolle for the build.c cleanup.

x86: remove zImage support 2009-03-11T18:00:00+00:00 H. Peter Anvin hpa@zytor.com 2009-03-11T17:55:33+00:00 5e47c478b0b69bc9bc3ba544e4b1ca3268f98fef Impact: obsolete feature removal The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long time. It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that anyone ever uses it. Furthermore, although it is still supported by most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and not having even noticed. Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any meaning. LKML-Reference: <49B703D4.1000008@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> 
Impact: obsolete feature removal

The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long
time.  It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still
fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that
anyone ever uses it.  Furthermore, although it is still supported by
most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at
all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and
not having even noticed.

Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any
meaning.
