Name : mkelfimage
Product : Fedora 8
Version : 2.7
Release : 4.fc8
URL : ftp://ftp.lnxi.com/pub/mkelfImage/
Summary : Utility to create ELF boot images from Linux kernel images
Description :
mkelfImage is a program that makes a elf boot image for linux kernel images.
The image should work with any i386 multiboot compliant boot loader, an ELF
boot loader that passes no options, a loader compliant with the linuxBIOS elf
booting spec or with the linux kexec kernel patch. A key feature here is that
nothing relies upon BIOS calls, but they are made when necessary. This is
useful for systems running linuxbios.

Update Information:
This detects where to place the initrd in memory instead of naively hard-coding
to 8MB. This makes it actually work with Fedora kernels. Thanks to pjones
for fixing this.

This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use
su -c 'yum update mkelfimage' at the command line.
