GRUB Legacy is dead for us. But your questions also apply to GRUB 2 so I answer them. > I have a specific query regarding SMP systems. How are multiple cores > handled by grub?

Only 1, just as in DOS or similar systems, which mainly rely on BIOS. > Also, can anyone suggest any tools to live debug the GRUB code? http://grub.enbug.org/DebuggingWithGDB But the pages there are outdated and even with them updated I myself couldn't figure out how to debug code in the modules.
