Actualy the most problematic bit was that I didn't know that unless you prefix variable with L_ apple's assembler treats it as global. Adding L_ in this code solves problem. Yves proposed to add a LOCAL(x) macro to symbol.h this way the assembler code is also more readable. I also did further adjustments in this patch to decrease the number of ifdefs but had no time to test it and so couldn't submit it > -- > Marco > > > > _______________________________________________ > Grub-devel mailing list > Grub-devel@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel >
