I would like to make the in-kernel multiboot header optional. If it's an ELF file, we can load it, even if it doesn't have the header. We can also pass the address of the multiboot tags to its entry point (it can't hurt anything).
For kernels that need to communicate information to GRUB (e.g. "vga_mode" from my previous email, or a.out load addresses), the multiboot header would be needed for GRUB to locate the parameter area within the executable. -Hollis _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
