Great that somebody agrees with me on the GUIDs =) In you have problems with compile/testing, feel free to reply here (or to my mail directly). I ahave made some fixes to it. Again, I am talking about integration it to the GRUB. This is MUST HAVE feature, at least for UEFI support -- This mess

Multiboot physical and virtual addresses

2010-04-21 Thread Vladimir 'φ-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko
Hello, all. On i386 multiboot requires for paging to be disabled and on amd64 it will be required to map P=V so physical and virtual adresses are the same. However on MIPS it's inadequate to ask for bootloader to set such a mode because to do so one would need to go into mode with TLB activated and

GRUB2 for UEFI crashes at startup when we got 8 gigabyte of memory

2010-04-21 Thread gburanov
In Febryary I was testing GRUB for UEFI and noticed that it was simply crashing. See topic http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2010-02/msg0.html At that time I blamed incorrect UEFI implementation on that computer (cause it worked fine on another one), but now I noticed that when I
