Hi, Linux 3.13 exposes some limitations on old UltraSPARCs where the PROM maps only 10 MB - the standard kernel TFTP boot no longer works very well... See e-mail thread <http://marc.info/?t=138592472200001&r=1&w=2>. This patch set makes some improvements to TILO to help on that. Basically it enables to boot a compressed kernel from dynamically allocated space. I'm now able to tftpboot a bloaty 3.13-rc5 + initramfs on Sun Ultra 5/10 with an image created by tilo. The patch set also allows to cross-compile and run tilo e.g. on x86.
