Gujin is a PC boot loader which can analyze your filesystems.
Because it understands the structure of Linux kernel images, Gujin does not need LILO nor GRUB and can even load very big kernels.
There is no need to execute anything after making a new kernel: just copy the kernel image file into the "/boot" directory.
Gujin is written almost entirely in C with GCC, and it fully executes in real mode to be as compatible as possible.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· This version fixes a lot of bugs, like installing the bootloader and loading a Linux kernel on a highly fragmented ext2 filesystem (Fedora default /boot partition), probes files in a FAT /boot directory even if the size of this directory is null (now the standard), better handles the case of partitions without labels, and works better in VirtualBox.
· Gujin can now also load kernels on filesystems made with a different sector size than the underlying device allows, for instance having a 512 bytes/sector superfloppy written on a CDROM/DVDRAM with 2048 bytes/sectors.
