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o  Password CRC-32 polynomials are superceded by 160-bit SHS digests,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.
