jnodesys.gz renamed to jnode32.gz

Submitted by epr on Sun, 01/16/2005 - 19:20.

In preparation of 64-bit support in the x86 architecture (AMD64) the jnodesys.gz (bootimage) has been renamed to jnode32.gz.

Please update your custom grub menu file if you have any.
It will not be a big surprise that the 64-bit bootimage will be called jnode64.gz.

Why not jnode_x86 and jnode_amd64? there is also ia64 and ppc64 as also ppc32 etc.

8.3

For some stupid reasons it is still wise to restrict the kernel name of 8.3 filenames. Also bootable images for different architecture will be placed in different directories, so I don't see a real need for it.
