grub-emu state of the art

Hi, I need a working grub-emu to continue the port of a system of my own from grub to grub 2. I am currently working on a i386 pc and had hard time the first days with the 1.93 delivery : grub-emu would run (on Linux based Ubuntu OS) and come with a rescue mode prompt, but was not likely to load

Hi, Here is a patch for making variables dependant on the context. Now when the user uses configfile, another context is created. Like in bash you can make variables global by using `export'. -- Marco 2006-04-29 Marco Gerards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * commands/configfile.c (grub_cmd_co

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I contacted the maintainer of Etherboot to inform him of my current attempt to port the etherboot drivers to grub2. As I understand (don't hesitate to correct me or give more details if you know them), the development of etherboot will stop and future develo

Currently, the commands default, timeout, etc. are ad-hoc, because they can be usual variables, but they are commands only for the menu context. I think the right way is to make a context for variables (and maybe for funcions as well). This can be implemented differently, that is, using handler

Hi, A lot of people have been asking about an include command/source/. command. But I am wondering if it just can be the same as configfile, except for the cls. So I will just add the two extra commands to configfile.c if no-one has a problem with this. -- Marco _
