Yes, sure. But we are not in the hurry; those __AROS__ code blocks are a mean to show clearly what was modified. They will be removed once the code is reviewved. > # Some of the code appears to "expect" the correct modules to be > loaded rather than check that they are? not sure how you should do > this correctly but hopefully someone here can point out what needs > corrected. I tryed to keep dependencies to a minimum. But I don't know how to overcome the amiga.mod -> pc.mod one.

The performance difference is not woth the assle of maintaining two version. And I suppose that SFS does actually exists only - on non AROS - only in the big endian version. Can someone confirm this ? Thanks, Alain Greppin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
