Nice. This is for ChangeLog managed by Dieter.

Fixes: * ISO loopback boot method (no more earlymodules=loop workaround needed) * Serial console now enabled in dual-isos at syslinux. * Updated needed parts to match current packages changes. ** From dev-user (who want to build ISOs yourself), there are lots of interesting changes and fixes see the git log for details since commit 61114497b219efa865ae2ecda414e23a689a66bd -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1
