Crash Recovery Kit

CrashRecoveryKit v2.4.21 based on RedHat 9 was released on 19 june 2003.

* 19 june 2003, A new CRK v.2.4.21 based on RedHat 9 is released.
     v.2.4.21 contains the same as v.2.4.20 basicly. The CRK is updated
     to kernel 2.4.21 and has a redhat 9 based runtime. The TLS
     (Thread Local Storage) version of glibc 2.3.2 and its pthread library's
     are inside. Also lspci and hwdata are added to give more info about your
     hardware. see also
     http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/IA64wiki/libc_20tls_20support .

The CRK is able to boot large kerels because it uses lilo in disk-emulation
mode. When creating a multi purpose bootable rescue tool (flash/cdrom)
getting to boot larger kernels is important. The disk emulation method is 
foul proof. It always will work. If not, then one can email the maintainer of 
lilo that his LInux bootLOader cannot boot linux from your first harddrive.

I guess that situation will never occur. Also the initrd.img which is
inside the CRK actually is rootrh9.gz, can be as large as one wants it to be.
So all possible future boot problems for the CRK are solved today.
