Firstly, where did your RedBoot sources come from? The "2.0.0" version string suggests that your RedBoot build is not from the official eCos 2.0 distribution. > I looked all over the place for a 'revision history' for RedBoot (and > eCos), but no joy. Each eCos package has its own ChangeLog. The ChangeLog for RedBoot is located within the eCos repository at: packages/redboot//ChangeLog You might also consider looking at the mke2fs ChangeLog to see what has changed between 1.36 and 1.41.3.
