memdisk is merged now, but as for supporting an initrd hack to load it, I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Currently, you can do: grub-mkimage -m filesystem -o core.img cat lnxboot.img core.img > linux_image what you propose would be: grub-mkimage -o core.img cat lnxboot.img core.img > linux_image [ use filesystem as initrd ] but, what is the advantage in that? Is there any use case in which the first option is not good but the second is? -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call… if you are unable to speak?
