configure and make and then what ?
Deal GRUB2 folks : I fetched the current CVS and then performed the configure and make with success. Somehow make install seems not quite right. I want to bring GRUB2 over to my tftp server and then use PXE boot to fetch the grub2 binary as well as whatever else is needed. I have two files that seem to be woefully small : foo:~/build/grub2$ ls -lap pxeboot.exec pxeboot.img -rwxr-xr-x 1 sysadm sysadm 1617 2007-05-01 19:19 pxeboot.exec -rwxr-xr-x 1 sysadm sysadm 1024 2007-05-01 19:19 pxeboot.img so then ... what do I do with grub-mkimage or grub-setup or what ? The INSTALL docs seem generic and .. not quite right. Dennis ___ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
Re: GRUB 1.95 is released
* Yoshinori K. Okuji [EMAIL PROTECTED] [061015 16:51]: * Number partitions from 1 instead of 0. For instance, the first partition of hd0 is now hd0,1 but not hd0,0. Hm. What's the reason for being inconsistent here? If changing the partition naming scheme, I would have thought it'd become hd1,1. But why is the first disk 0 and the first partition 1? Using Linux style names might make sense as well... hda1,... I would prefer a naming style that is not specific to any OS at all. So hard disks numbered as disks and partitions as partition works real well. Keeping in mind that even a partition is an abstraction as opposed to a real thing.

A ready to run GRUB2 boot loader for the Genesi ODW ?
ALL : http://www.blastware.org/grub2/ I put this page together such that people working on the PowerPC port can focus on more interesting things like the hardware address translation and the memory management layer. This boot loader seems to work but I may be a few rev's behind already. If anyone has an Genesi ODW unit ( https://www.pegasosppc.com/blastwareodw.php ) then please feel free to test this and let me know your thoughts. I built this on Fedora Core 4 and created my own tool chain before hand. I was going to go through a complete Linux from Scratch process but got bogged down in other work.

I didn't know it existed. It doesn't look like this information is OpenSolaris-specific... One of the many joys of GRUB2 is that it isn't specific to anything really. But I am guessing. Maybe it could never work on ARM or a Dec Alpha but I don't see why not. That reminds me, how are you booting OpenSolaris using GRUB2 on PPC? With the linux loader? No .. booting OpenSolaris with GRUB2. But that stage is being worked on. I put this page together such that people working on the PowerPC port can focus on more interesting things like the hardware address translation and the memory management layer. I'm actually not sure what you mean by hardware address translation and the memory management layer... could you elaborate? Actually .. not really. :-( I wish I could. Really it comes down to the handling of pages of memory and how they relate to actual physical memory in the machine and the address translation that must happen between extended virtual memory and real physical memory. This is the venue of the uts code for the kernel. We are currently looking at the architecture specific modules that will be needed and quite frankly, a complete architecture plan. http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/grub/MMU.png From the page: PLEASE TAKE NOTE : You may choose to suspend GRUB2 in order to drop to the firmware however you will need to warm boot your system as you can not yet get back to the GRUB2 prompt. This may be a flaw in the Pegasos2 firmware or the GRUB2 code. This is a bug in Pegasos firmware. Genesi was notified a while back but I haven't heard anything about a fix. In the meantime, you might be able to run resume instead of go to get back. ah .. I will give that a try. Thank you ! If that does work, you could implement a patch that detects you're running on CodeGen firmware (the original author) and sets a quirk/feature bit, then output a different message in the suspend command. I believe we already detect CodeGen firmware to work around a bug I found on the briQ, so you would have an example to work from... Let me look into that also.

I was sitting on some changes and was thinking about how to submit them and then thought, oh great, I have no idea what style is needed or wanted. So then after seeing this, an inside joke or something like that, I then felt why bother. Hollis was probably dead on the mark. Open source works just fine and constructive criticism is a good thing.

Fix for strange characters in GRUB 1.91
A picture says a 1000 words : http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/grub/grub_1.91/day_01/img_1280.jpg I was thinking that perhaps simple line drawing with - and + could be used for now and that would also work nicely on serial consoles and old DEV VT units that some of us still use on headless hardware. So perhaps a config option in the grub.cfg for charset would be useful. Dennis ___ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
