 I've been busy most of the day since I'll be travelling tomorrow. ​ HPA informed me of a bug in the updated bzImage work I did.  Luckily the source of the bug was already identified, I simply needed to change the hardcoded ''​initrd_addr_max''​ value in ''​arch/​i386/​prefix/​lkrnprefix.S''​. I've been busy most of the day since I'll be travelling tomorrow. ​ HPA informed me of a bug in the updated bzImage work I did.  Luckily the source of the bug was already identified, I simply needed to change the hardcoded ''​initrd_addr_max''​ value in ''​arch/​i386/​prefix/​lkrnprefix.S''​.

 +**DMA mapping work continues**. ​ I'm reworking things from all sides hmalloc, dma_mapping,​ and b44.  Hopefully it will converge soon :-).

 +==== Sun 27 Jul ====
 +**The Roundup issue tracker** is close to ready. ​ Mdc and I have spent some time setting up the [[http://​roundup.sf.net/​|Roundup issue tracker]] to improve our grasp on patches and bugs.
 +
 +Currently we suffer the problem that patches are easily forgotten on the mailing list if the developers are busy.  An issue tracker provides a better overview of outstanding patches that need to be reviewed.
 +
 +Bug reports are also streamlined by the new system. ​ This will be especially useful in the coming months as Etherboot.org becomes more visible and new users try it.
  
 Next steps: Next steps:
-  * [roundupSet up and document roundup installation,​ email mdc with details+  * [GDBAdd sample GDB session to wiki and explain commands
   * [DMA] DMA pool API so drivers can reserve DMA buffers on ''​open()''​.   * [DMA] DMA pool API so drivers can reserve DMA buffers on ''​open()''​.
