There'd have to be a different version to handle unsigned longs, though, as you have to be able to handle a memory size of unsigned long (although people don't generally do mem=4294967296, it's perfectly valid to do so) Jeremy _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
