The description is here: http://www.coreboot.org/SELF I think the biggest problem is lack of support for any relocations. Even if we resolve all symbols against the kernel, modules still may depend on other modules. Either we preallocate all modules to fixed places in memory, or we'll need to use the PARAMS section to hold relocations, magic numbers, versions and so on. My impression in that the SELF format is too dumb and we don't want to go there. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
