GRUB 0.5.92 is released
I'm pleased to announce the release of grub-0.5.92. It is available as an unstable/main/binary-i386/base Debian package, as well as a tar file from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/misc/ New in 0.5.92 - 1999-07-26: * Bug fixes (i.e. Stage 1.5 can work fine again). * The /sbin/grub stage2 simulator now works at least on GNU/Linux, and uses the Linux HDIO_GETGEO ioctl to determine hard disk geometry. * TAB not only lists filenames, but also completes a filename when the filename is unique. * Password is not echoed back, put an asterisk for each of input characters. * stage2_debug is removed, and the debugging features are added into stage2. * Color menu support. * New command "quit". * The man page for /sbin/grub. * All documents become Texinfo. * Linux video mode selection is supported. * The new Stage 1 `stage1_lba' supports LBA addressing mode. Thanks to all who made this release possible. Special thanks to OKUJI Yoshinori, who did nearly all the development work between 0.5.91 and 0.5.92. I'm just acting as the release guy. -- Gordon Matzigkeit [EMAIL PROTECTED] //\ I'm a FIG (http://www.fig.org/) Committed to freedom and diversity \// I use GNU (http://www.gnu.org/)

The ../misc directory contains an old version, which probably should be removed. /Peter Åstrand [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The ../misc directory contains an old version, which probably should be removed. Yes, the snapshots are in the directory /gnu/hurd/src. But I'd like to move them into a new directory /gnu/grub, because GRUB is not a "only for Hurd" bootloader... -- OKUJI Yoshinori [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^o-o^ http://duff.kuicr.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~okuji (in English) m /
Re: GRUB 0.5.92 problem
Hi Mark, please submit any bug report related to GNU GRUB to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of debian-hurd. From: Mark Lundeberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: GRUB 0.5.92 problem Date: Fri, 6 Aug 1999 14:31:07 -0700 (PDT) I compiled grub on a Redhat Linux 5.1 system. hd0 is 210MB. I use lilo as my master bootloader. Perhaps RedHat has an old and buggy version of binutils. You can examine what version you use by "ld -v". See the requirement in the file README. -- OKUJI Yoshinori [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^o-o^ http://duff.kuicr.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~okuji (in English) m /
Re: GRUB 0.5.92 is released
Dirk, send any mail about GNU GRUB to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of debian-hurd. I will not tell anyone this any more, and I will not reply any mail if you do ignore my advise. From: Dirk Ritter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: GRUB 0.5.92 is released Date: Sat, 7 Aug 1999 03:37:37 +0200 (CEST) And it does not work on SCSI drives either - I tried it on my half IDE / half SCSI box with a floppy and a SCSI disk -- 'stage1_lba' just barfed "Error LBA" or something and the game was over. I'm not sure, but SCSI drives normally support LBA mode. So I suspect that you just did something wrong. Please tell us what you did in details. BTW - am I right if I suspect that floppy drives are something the stage2 emulator does not yet understand? No. In fact, I have been using the emulator to install GRUB into a floppy disk when developing GRUB. -- OKUJI Yoshinori [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^o-o^ http://duff.kuicr.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~okuji (in English) m /
