You need to add new kernel thunk(s) to grub2/kern/i386/pc/startup.S and then make them jump to 16b real mode and then return back to protected mode. There are lots of examples in that file. Then make proper include file for your calls (most likely you can add it to existing one in this include file grub2/include/grub/i386/pc/biosdisk.h). I would suggest to make testing command that accesses those kernel thunks. This way it is easier to test out those API calls. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
