He was moving the last days, so he hasn't much time.
And a good news marco already knows : I finally made the OpenBoot calls
work \o/ !
The problem was in the struct used to send args & receive return values.
It must contain fields of the same size, which is 32 bits on ppc and 64
on usparc. So now it works with long long as field type.
So, I'm glad to announce the very first time some grub 2 related work
booted on an usparc :
ok load net
Boot device: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1 File
and args:
5800
ok init-program
testType 'go' to resume
ok go
Program terminated
I call the following functions:
_start :
grub_ofconsole_init() :
grub_ieee1275_finddevice ("/chosen", &chosen)
grub_ieee1275_get_property (chosen, "stdout", data, sizeof data,
&actual)
grub_ieee1275_get_property (chosen, "stdin", data, sizeof data,
&actual)
ieee1275_write(stdout_ihandle,"test",4,&wrote);
ieee1275_enter(); //hence the "Type 'go' to resume"
ieee1275_exit(); //hence the "Program terminated"
So I think I can say OB calls work, have they argument(s) and or return
value(s) or not !
Time to go (for the last day) to the LSM now :).

It is not a bad thing to have this code as a module. The goodness of GRUB 2 is that it allows us to have non-critical code without losing space. > Another problem would be the portability.

I was planning to make a surprise : I've implemented last night a "play" command in grub that plays on the standard buzzer a tune read from an on-disk file. I grabbed some code from hurd's generic-speaker driver, and some from grub 2 itself (outb, inb, used skeleton of 'cat' command). I have 7 tunes this far, most taken from the hurd file :) : FSF song Indiana Jones theme I Feel Pretty Summertime Star Trek: The Next Generation Beverly Hills Cop. Tetris theme <- home-made from a mid file I had the idea when I was talking with Marco who reminded me his idea about a tetris module for grub. I asked if the tetris theme would be played while gaming, and I realized that it was possible, because of the internal speaker... To handle the note length, I use grub_get_rtc, so it would be easy to do something else while waiting for the timeout (like handling tetris blocs :) ) Now I don't know if it is pertinent to submit it as a patch...

hi, I saw on the wiki that a presentation about grub2 is schedulled during the RMLL. Do you have more info about that such as when and where ? From here, Dijon is on the way to hollidays so I might possibly go there, and it would be great to meet people involved in grub devel.
