Don't include all the modules in the kernel, you only need those necessary to access the boot partition, for example, i use the following command to create core.img: ./grub-mkimage -d . -o core.img biosdisk iso9660 pc fat ntfs ext2 ufs bsd boot ls multiboot To create g2ldr, add the lnxboot.img header: cat lnxboot.img core.img > g2ldr This contain enough modules to do the test, no need to load extra module from disk. Also, please use linux to build grub2, *bsd may compile ok, but don't know if the result is correct. -- Bean _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
