Why?
We got rid of this code for two reasons: - it didn't work reliably - normal boot loaders like (recent versions of) syslinux do work - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
