   Leuwen, Belgium - October 6th 2004.   
      
   In preparation for the upcoming update of Amiga OS 4.0, Hyperion Entertainment   
   is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the much improved U-Boot   
   1.1.1 for AmigaOne SE and XE motherboards.   
      
   New features include:   
      
   * Support for multiple graphics cards. At this time the last graphics card   
   (usually the AGP card) is used for primary display. Later versions will   
   include an option to choose.   
   * Support for booting off a Silicon Image 0680 IDE controller. This feature   
   has to be selected manually at the moment, by entering setenv ide sii from the   
   U-Boot shell.   
   * New CPU support: IBM PowerPC 750GX is now fully supported.   
   * A problem has been fixed that made the U-Boot environment settings   
   unavailable when rebooting from Linux.   
   * Support for LBA48 IDE Drivers, i.e. you can now boot off drives that are   
   bigger than 160 GB.   
   * Support for the new Second-Level Bootloader (that can boot Linux besides   
   AmigaOS), to be distributed with the upcoming AmigaOS 4 update.   
   * Numerous bug fixes and improvements.   
      
   The new U-Boot will be required for the upcoming update of Amiga OS 4.0, to be   
   released shortly to registered AmigaOS 4.0 pre-Release owners.   
      
   The download is available in our Downloads section.
