LILO release 22.2 is based upon Werner Almesberger's LILO version 21. Version 22.2 is a minor update to version 22.1. o LVM support is added. o Machines with very large memory are properly supported. o Refinement in the bios data collection needed for automatic bios device code determination. o Major revamp of the diagnostic utility disk. Version 22.1 is a major update to version 22.0. o Password CRC-32 polynomials are superceded by 160-bit SHS digests, which are cryptographically secure. o RAID1 codes are updated to fix a problem encountered on skewed raid installations in booting "other=" sections. o Compilation option allows for specification of more kernels. Version 22 is a major update to versions 21 .. 21.7.5. o A graphical user interface using VGA 640x480x16 (mode 0x12) is added. o Secure passwords are implemented using four CRC-32 polynomials. o RAID1 codes are completely re-written, and correctly implement 'lock', 'fallback', and "lilo -R ..." THE NEW RAID1 IMPLEMENTATION IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH VERSION 21. Those using version 21 should read 'README.raid1' before installing these new codes. There is a compatibility mode (lilo -x mbr-only) for existing RAID1 installations which are not going to be converted to the Version 22 implementation.
