My WIP has been revised to include grub2 2.0, systemd 189, and kernel 3.5.3. I have patched grub2 to place our theme in /boot/grub, thus making grub2 self contained now, meaning it can be used as a separate boot partition now without needing to read root partition to boot. Also, it includes a new feature to close an ancient request. It now generates a "console mode" entry which boots normally, but doesn't start the display manager.
During testing, I ran into some weird glitches with my video. I doubt it's related to grub2, and it appears to have gone away completely after switching back to HDMI. I was using VGA before. My video would either work correctly from boot up, be locked up with no keyboard response and TTY1 visible, or no video at all but keyboard is responsive. I have no idea what is the cause. It only showed up when I tested it on real hardware. It may just be an ATI kernel bug. Regardless, please let me know if you experience something similar. Testing details are below: Add this to /etc/pacman-g2.conf, ensuring it is before current. Include = /etc/pacman-g2/repos/ryuotesting5 Add this to /etc/pacman-g2/repos/ryuotesting5: [ryuotesting5] Server=http://ftp.frugalware.org/pub/other/people/ryuo/ryuotesting5/frugalware-@CARCH@ Replace @CARCH@ with your appropriate architecture. Now: pacman-g2 -Syu And reboot. Please see here for information on upgrading to new GRUB2, after your reboot: http://ftp.frugalware.org/pub/other/people/ryuo/ryuotesting5/docs/upgrade.txt Scroll down to the section called "GRUB2 upgrade". After you're done, reboot again. Thanks for testing. _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
