Follow-up Comment #9, bug #36770 (project grub): I think I have found the culprit. Everything in memdisk can be compressed with xz (modules, *.lst, embedded grub.cfg), but the "search" command works only if fs modules are either loaded beforehand, or not compressed (their dependencies, such as "fshelp", can be compressed).
E.g.: insmod part_msdos insmod part_gpt insmod iso9660 insmod fat insmod ext2 insmod hfsplus search -fns root ... I tested this extensively with iso9660. Is it possible that "search" circumvents transparent decompression when autoloading modules? Is it actually expected to do that (autoloading doesn't seem to work again after rmmod'ing everything in "normal" mode)? I.e., "insmod part_*" above be there because "search" in GRUB 1.99 wouldn't work otherwise with partitions (didn't test with GRUB 2.00) -- shouldn't these be autoloaded as well on "search"? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?36770> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
