v59 v60 24 24 Sali is created due the fact that the current kernel/initrd and BOEL utilities are outdated. The trigger was that there is no ''grub2'' support. We 25 25 thought this could be easily added, but during this process we decided to upgrade all software to the newest levels and replace some software components. The biggest hurdle was detecting of which hardware is in the system ([http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev.html udev]). We believe that SALI is better in detecting which hardware is in the system than the SystemImager setup. The focus for this project is/was: 26 * Easily create a new kernel/initrd when a new kernel is released or one of the software components is updated, eg: [http://www.busybox.net busybox]. The SALI initrd contains all kernel modules and software utilities. In SystemImager this software is distributed as a separate package (BOEL binaries). 26 * Easily create a new kernel/initrd when a new kernel is released or one of the software components is updated, eg: [http://www.busybox.net busybox]. 27 * The SALI initrd contains all kernel modules and software utilities.
