packages/                               - for manualy install...
    daemons-0.8.0-20070730.zip           - coLinux executable daemons

    initrd-20060831.gz                   - coLinux default initrd

State 2007-07-30:
- Compiled with "-mregparm=3" (kernel default, faster and smaller code).
   Patch 'base-2.6.22-regparm.diff' removed from kernel patch list.

> State 2007-07-29:
> - cofs: Host filesystem usable.
> - timer: Initial `date` setup - starts coLinux with right date and time.
> - Fix the empty Kernel command line (boot_command_line).
> - Initrd installs modules: Please rename module file into
>    'modules-2.6.22-co-0.8.0.tgz' and run colinux with additional kernel
>    paramter: 'initrd=initrd.gz'.
> - Debian 3.1 and 4.0 successfuly starts.
> - SuSE 9.0 don't run. All virtual consoles terms with this line:
>    Inconsistency detected by ld.so: rtld.c: 1250: dl_main: Assertion 
> `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!
> - usable: memory, timer, console, keyboard, initrd, cobd, conet, cofs
> - not ready / not usable: mouse, coserial, cloop

>>> State 2007-07-22:
>>> - usable devices: memory, timer, console, keyboard, initrd, cobd
>>> - not ready / not usable: cofs, conet, mouse, coserial, cloop
>>> - Config is very minimalistic for fast compiles. I have no modules.
>>>   You can enable some, but not the incomplete co-devices above.
>>> - Initrd and Debian image is running very good (without network).
>>> - REGPARMS temporaly disabled. Not all functions are clean.
>>>   Calls between coLinux assembler and C must be check very carefully.
>>> - Co-Timer wrote completely new. Value 'shift' for clocksource
>>>   and co_clockevent is not clear for me (20 or 23 for 10ms to 1ns?)
>>> - Entry for GDT is per_cpu__gdt_page with fallback to cpu_gdt_table.
>>>   This new name is the only difference, that needed for colinux daemon.
>>> - Operating sytem switcher works very stable with my config. My host OS
>>>   was long time no crashing. Typicaly, wrong new device implementations
>>>   would "Oops" the kernel and catched on the host with a BUG message.

>>> Be carefully with the first run! Save your work, before you starts

>>>
>>> This build is not for production! Use it very carefully, it's very fresh.
>>> But you can test it on your machines and give feedback please.
