Hi, in january we had a conversation about xorriso and PALO. I implemented the boot sector as learned from genisoimage: version number 4 and the short command line at byte 24 to 151.
Further there is the proposed version 5 with long command line at byte 1024 to 2047, and the yet unexplained "ipl_entry" at byte 248 to 251. Because our discussion stalled, i did not publish the enhancements of libisofs API and xorriso CLI with the recent release 1.3.6. They are still available in the last 1.3.5 development snapshot: http://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso/xorriso-1.3.5.tar.gz It has header version 5 as default. Version 4 can be achieved by -as mkisofs option -hppa-hdrversion 4 The five traditional -hppa-* options of genisoimage are supported by the -as mkisofs emulation. The disabled code gets back into effect by defining the macro Libisofs_enable_unreleased_hppa_palO (in CFLAGS or in libisofs.h). For exporting the API from libisofs.so, it is further necessary to add in libisofs/libisofs.ver the lines iso_image_set_hppa_palo; iso_image_get_hppa_palo; ---------------------------------------------------------------- So if i get a definition of "ipl_entry" at byte 248 to 251, and some testing is made by owners of HP-PA machines, then -hppa-* options could be in xorriso-1.3.8. Together with my new boot sector analyzer which will tell e.g.: Volume id : 'Debian 5.0.8 hppa Bin-1' ... PALO header version: 4 HP-PA cmdline : 0/vmlinux initrd=0/ramdisk HP-PA boot files : ByteAddr ByteSize Path HP-PA 32-bit kernel: 13346816 4187315 /install/vmlinux-2.6.26-2-parisc HP-PA 64-bit kernel: 7557120 5789547 /install/vmlinux-2.6.26-2-parisc64 HP-PA ramdisk : 2324480 5193978 /install/initrd.gz HP-PA bootloader : 7520256 36864 /install/iplboot (The output with debian-7.4.0-amd64-netinst.iso is a bit longer :)) Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
