The problem is less in the ideas and more in the implementation. PXELINUX is great, but it runs entirely in real mode. So it is not a very good source of ideas for GRUB. I tried to get this working once (see http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2002-08/msg00025.html), but eventually I gave up and switched to PXELINUX. It works well enough for my purposes (http://unattended.sourceforge.net/). The problem I had was invoking the real-mode PXE stack from GRUB and having it work right. Maybe I just lack sufficiently deep understanding of the x86 architecture, especially real/protected mode and how they interact with interrupts... If Etherboot has a driver which takes care of this automatically, that would be cool. I was not aware of any such driver when I was hacking on pxegrub. - Pat _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
