[Evms-announce] New EVMS Init-Ramdisk For 2.5.1

Greetings,

EVMS is releasing a new sample init-ramdisk image for the 2.5.1 release. The 
init-ramdisk that was part of the 2.5.1 release forced some changes to the 
kernel command-line parameters for specifying the root volume. After some 
discussion on evms-devel this week, some changes were made that allows the 
kernel command-line parameters to remain the same as in all previous versions 
of the EVMS init-ramdisk. The only change necessary now for upgrading from a 
2.4.1 or earlier version to this new version is to insure that your root 
filesystem has an /initrd directory. Thanks to Michel Bouissou and Syrius for 
helping refine the init-ramdisk's linuxrc script.

This new init-ramdisk image is called evms-2.5.1.1-initrd-new.gz and is 
available for download from the EVMS website at http://evms.sourceforge.net. 
New md5 checksums are also available.

The "old" init-ramdisk image is still available for the 2.5.1 release. 
However, since the "new" init-ramdisk can now use the same kernel parameters, 
only one init-ramdisk will be provided with future EVMS releases.

No changes have been made to the 2.5.1 source package.

If you have any questions or find any bugs with this new init-ramdisk image, 
please send email to the EVMS mailing list ([email protected]) or visit 
the EVMS IRC channel (irc.freenode.net, #evms).
