Yes, that would be a different grub-emu. Maybe it will be compiled with the target flags. Maybe it will need to be disabled if cross-compiling. > We could do some special testing framework using this method.

I just don't want to force loading foreign architecture modules into the executable memory. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
