Looks nice Chris, >From a hardware/bios designer perspective, I like this addition to the memory test feature of Linux. One suggestion/thought, should the Memory test feature be also listed/grouped with it? (this may be a separate issue though)
Good work, Charles -----Original Message----- From: Chris Lamb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 9:26 AM To: debian-boot@lists.debian.org Subject: [PATCH] Support for "hardware burn-in" stage (updated) Dear friends, This is my updated patch to support a hardware burn-in stage in D-I by way of enhancing the existing cpuburn package in Debian. Please refer to the original thread for justification and discussion, etc. http://people.debian.org/~terpstra/thread/20080208.150527.45aeb62d.en.html This updated patch attempts to auto-detect the burn type to use, and incorporates a number of suggestions made on the previous thread. The patch is in three parts: 1. Modifies cpuburn packaging to be more accomodating to another binary package. (This is mostly moving debian/foo -> debian/cpuburn.foo, etc.) 2. Moves all patches from the .diff.gz to debian/patches and quilt. (This is completely optional and only required if building directly from the upstream tarball.) 3. Adds the cpuburn-udeb package (the interesting bit) By request, I have uploaded some screenshots and .deb packages for i386 and amd64 here: http://lamby.uwcs.co.uk/b/d-i_cpuburn/ 1f913f2f249d61d8bc21bb8544a01f648e4b7826 cpuburn-udeb_1.4-27_amd64.udeb a5dad99399cf6638d35b280fd53027f6dca8bd83 cpuburn-udeb_1.4-27_i386.udeb Please validate SHA1 checksums before use Regards, -- Chris Lamb, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 0x634F9A20 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
