| 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.

| - | Next steps: | + | ==== Fri 25 Jul ==== |
| - | * [DMA] DMA pool API so drivers can reserve DMA buffers on ''open()''. | + | Git commit: |
| - | * [b44] Cleanup, testing, performance. | + | * [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/stefanha/gpxe.git;a=commit;h=13112d3fc913bb6117ab67afb1b10fc907ead0a0|[b44] Format lines to 80 characters]] |
| - | * [shutdown] Remove gPXE allocated memory and free up PXE+UNDI, if necessary. | + | * [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/stefanha/gpxe.git;a=commit;h=09556d9943a99a9ef66990873c6724db693964cc|[DMA] Use dma_buf struct to simplify interface]] |
| - | * [bzImage] Expand the heap size to the full 64K segment when loading a bzImage kernel with version 2.02 or higher. | + | |
| - | * [GDB] Real-mode remote debugging. | + | **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. | ||
