Hello Mr. Jeff, Also I'm loading initrd via GRUB, so I'm interested in the problem you found. >GRUB 0.5.94 does not work correctly with Linux initial ramdisks. Have you checked the previous initrd discussion? Possibly found in the archives at the end of Feb/2000, subject was "two questions". >

[BUG] GRUB 0.5.94 & Linux initrd

2000-03-31 Thread Jeff Noxon
Hi Folks, GRUB 0.5.94 does not work correctly with Linux initial ramdisks. Actually, it works with kernel 2.2.14 and presumably older kernels, but it stops working with kernels somewhere around the 2.3.x series. On 2.3.99pre3, the kernel segfaults on boot. Kernels in the 2.3.40 range panic, comp

Netboot Stuff - it really works !!

So I continued working !! As I mentioned befor, I can start GRUB diskless ! I did the test and development on a NE2000 nic. Now, my 'patched' GRUB detects, whether it was booted by netboot or 'normal' by disk. If GRUB is booted by netboot, it sets up the network by a 'bootp' call (not 'rarp' ye

Hi people, As of two days ago, GRUB in the MBR of my hard drive won't load anything over 1024th cylinder. That day I booted, replaced the linux kernel image with a new copy, rebooted and poof, it halted. Didn't even display an error message. After using a rescue disk, and reinstalling grub into t

First Netbooting of GRUB - success !!

2000-03-31 Thread Christoph Plattner
Hi all GRUBers ! I tried the first netbooting of grub with the netboot-0.9.0 package of Gero Kuhlmann, and I was successful. GRUB starts perfect. The next step is the netbooting of menu.lst ! Lets see how to solve. Furthermore I have to build in my 'hacks' in a deliverable form :-) Cheers

Well, I for one, and I suspect the rest of the OpenBSD community, will be very pleased to see the results of your work. Currently, there is no way (that I've found) to remoteboot OpenBSD on i386. A second stage loader like Grub, that's capable of booting so many different OS's would be a godsend.
