this is kind of a hen & egg problem. I would love to help improving the documentation (as I did already for Grub Legacy), but I have no idea where to start. Currently I see that the "official" Grub Manual is in a difficult state. It appears to me that it is a copy of the Grub Legacy manual, where some parts are updated others are plainly wrong (due to being only copied), e.g. the remark in the second paragraph of chapter 3 Installation http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Installation where it is stated that you could install grub by running grub itself from a floppy, which isn't possible with Grub 2 anymore. I have no idea how I can find out how to use modules where I have to guess how to use them. There was a nice remark on by phcoder on the request list that there are usb mass storage and uhci & ehci modules, which I tried and I was able to confirm that insmod'ing uhci.mod and usbms.mod on a system, which is not able to boot via bios from usb, enabled this system to boot from usb by chainloading (usb0)+1. But it is very time consuming and frustrating to experiment with different modules just for documentation. How can I find out more information about the modules? Is digging into the source an option, is documentation available there in comments? I was not able to browse source in Savannah's Bazaar since this option is apparently broken? BTW: I ask for mercy for cross-posting this to help-grub and grub-devel but I am really unsure where it should go ... regards -- Bernhard Treutwein _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
