There was a short discussion, but I write it more concisely now. 1) We don't want to cache anything. Any cached information risks to become stale. 2) We don't want to rely on knowing how BIOS would see the devices at the boot time. If GRUB is installed in a way that more than one drive is involved, it's our responsibility to do it reliably or not at all. 3) We don't want floppies or any unrelated drives to be touched when they are not involved. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
