| New feature: Resctoox v2.4 |
Some may consider this a major new feature. After some great testing by Carlewy I have managed to add native G support to the native conversion script found in Resctoox. The native conversion script allows a loopback E: installation to be moved natively to F: and now to G:. For this to work on a G: partition you must (obviously) have a G partition, and the F/G partition MUST exist at the 137GB boundary. I do not recommend using the 'g' option on a drive smaller than 160GB. The theory has been tested but the final script has NOT so its released largely on a "suck-it-and-see" basis. Any comments are most welcome!
You can grab it from here. The netboot packlet has also been updated (though this update will need some time to propagate through the SourceForge mirrors - dont be shocked if you still see it booting Resctoox v2.3 for a while yet).
Enjoy!

| New feature: Stop deleting my linuxboot.cfg! |
People have been complaining about magic deleting the "linuxboot.cfg" file when updating a kernel. This can now be fixed by adding "dontdeleteme" to any of the "append" lines in your linuxboot.cfg file. This is a global parameter, it only needs to be added to ONE append line, e.g.:
title Gentoox
kernel vmlinuz
initrd initrd.gz
append dontdeleteme init=/linuxrc root=/dev/ram0 kbd-reset video=xbox:640x480,nohwcursor,hoc=13,voc=13
title Sparkle
kernel vmlinuz
initrd sprkrd.gz
append load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=26215 rw root=/dev/ram kbd-reset
This will stop the file from being deleted. Do not run xbvset after editing your linuxboot.cfg file until you are fully updated with magic!

| New feature: ALSA 1.0.8 |
|
ALSA 1.0.8 has been added to magic with (supposedly) full SPDIF (optical out) support. I dont have an SPDIF amplifier so I cant test it... so anyone who can - please do. If it works, I'll integrate into MCE shortly. (If thats not an incentive to give feedback, then what is?).

| New feature: Kernel 2.4.22.22016 |

A quick FatX fix, the bug (the available fix pointed out by duckweed on the forums) occurred when renaming a file/ directory on a FatX drive from lowercase to uppercase (or vice versa)... you would lose the data. Run magic to update.

| New feature: Gentoox Loader v5.3 |
CD flashing? Why not!
dmp and I spent a couple of hours debugging the iso9660 driver in Cromwell and fixed it to allow flashing from CD! Many thanks to him!
Now for the boring stuff... Your BIOS must be on CD (duh) named "image.bin" - it can be of any size but must be divisible by 256 (e.g. 256K, 512K, 768K, 1024K...).
This has been tested with a 256K BIOS and a 1024K BIOS on an X2Pro. See the manual and previous post for disclaimers. To summarise: I will not be held accountable for bad flashes or misuse of this programme.
Grab it from here.
Run magic to update gentooxx.xbe on your E: drive.
