The problem might be that Grub2 locks out existing operating systems,

Is anyone booting non-Linux OSes like FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
OpenSolaris, etc with GRUB2 yet
Hi,
Does Grub2 set up long mode when loading an elf64 image or do we
have to do it manually if we need such a thing?
Thanks,

Hello all,
I 'm building a (non linux) kernel natively on i386 and on amd64.
My linker script defines the first section to be one called
'boot'. This is where i put multiboot headers so that they are
within the first 8 bytes of the kernel image. Grub2 succesfully
retrieves the headers from th
Since i didn't get any feedback, i was forced to use the force and
go to the source. I found out a few amazing things.
First of all, there is a serious inconsistency between the next
version of the Multiboot Specification and the current code. The
spec mentions: "[..] The header must start with a
Here is a sample kernel, built as elf64, that simply refuses to
boot. It consists of only two files: boot.S and multiboot.h. It
does absolutely nothing and it is a cut-down version of the kernel

Jerone, thanks to your instructions grub2 was installed
automagically!!
The only thing that wasn't set up automatically was grub.cfg but
this is a minor issue to resolve.
Are there any objections to replace the wiki's inaccurate
instructions at the section "TestingOnX86/Installing GRUB 2 int
Thank you for your reply. After so much time, i had totally given
up on grub2.
I have a debian-amd64/unstable system running on a turion64
processor with gcc 4.1.3, autoconf 2.61 and automake 1.10.
I will try again to install grub2 using your instructions and
report back.

Hello,
I fetched the latest sources from cvs and tried to install grub2.
I followed the guide at the wiki http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnX86.
'configure --prefix=/boot/grub2': works ok.
'make': ok
'sudo make install': complaints about missing file
utils/grub.d/README. easy to overcome.

Hello,
I'm trying to make an experimental kernel multiboot compatible on amd64
and make it run in long mode. This kernel currently compiles and boots
on i386 using Grub Legacy. However, it seems that Grub Legacy cannot
boot elf64 images.
Does GRUB2 support elf64 images without problems??
