Hello,I wanted to boot my servers natively, from UEFI, instead of BIOS compatibility mode. I wanted to use GRUB for that, but found out GRUB2 in PLD lacks EFI support. First I have updated out grub2.spec from version 1.99 to 2.00, then I have started adding EFI support. For that I have removed some patches that were moving grub installed files from /boot/grub/${platform} to /lib. That was IMHO wrong because: 1. only one platform could be installed (PC in this case, so no place for EFI) 2. the /boot partition would be cluttered with GRUB modules even if the GRUB bootloader was not actually installed (via grub-install). I have finally managed to boot my server from this new grub2 package, both in legacy BIOS mode and via UEFI, but the changes I have introduced could potentially break some existing installations. Anybody using GRUB2, please test the new grub2-2.00-0.1 package.
I'm using grub2 but some old version from RCD because new packages from TH won't fit into my MBR. I have compared grub2-2.00-3 and Ubuntu grub-2.0 and almost all modules in PLD are bigger:
module,PLD,Ubuntu ext2.mod,7608bytes,5784bytes lvm.mod,6760bytes,6296bytes msdospart,2956bytes,2412bytes Anyone have idea why? _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
