The Marvell versions of U-Boot (and even some older \\ versions of the upstream releases) are not so robust in some situations, so it \\ makes sense (particularly for new Slackware ARM users) to upgrade their U-Boot \\ to a known-good release. \\ \\ If you are using a GuruPlug, or SheevaPlug eSATA you are recommended to upgrade \\ U-Boot if it's older than the recommended version. This is due to a bug in \\ older U-Boot releases that may cause trouble booting newer Linux kernels such \\ as the version in Slackware ARM 14.0. \\ \\ However, if you are happy with the version of U-Boot on your plugs, there's no \\ need to upgrade U-Boot: if you're going to reformat and reinstall with the same \\ disk partitioning scheme, you can boot the Slackware installer and reinstall \\ without changing any U-Boot configuration. If you've already installed \\ Slackware 14.0 on your system and it's working, you won't need to upgrade \\ U-Boot unless you are having some intermittent problems and would like to see \\ whether these are fixed by the new version. \\ \\ Martin Michlmayr from Debian has always maintained a page with the stable \\ release of U-Boot for the Plugs, so it makes sense to me be refer to his \\ work in this area. \\ \\ For details about upgrading U-Boot on your Plug, see \\ http://www.armedslack.org/maint_kirkwooduboot/ \\ \\ Thanks to Michael Langfinger for the suggestion. ===== Packages ===== ==== Rebuilt ==== * [[slackwarearm.14.0>patches/packages/openssl-1.0.1c-arm-3_slack14.0.tgz]] * [[slackwarearm.14.0>patches/packages/openssl-solibs-1.0.1c-arm-3_slack14.0.tgz]] \\ Rebuilt to use ARM assembler optimisations which provides impressive \\ performance increases. \\ For more details see http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=8433 \\ Thanks to Michael Langfinger for the suggestion. {{tag>slackware changelog slackwarearm-14.0 2012-10}} news/2012/10/04/slackwarearm-14.0-changelog.txt Last modified: 12 months agoby Giuseppe Di Terlizzi Log In
