I'm afraid it didn't appear to do anything for me.
Furthermore, your patch didn't print any output. There wasn't any error message returned (i.e your "Could not locate the apple set os protocol." message on line 52-53). When I invoked your command from the GRUB normal prompt, it DID print the message however. Perhaps it doesn't fail if called from within a grub.cfg, or maybe it simply doesn't print. The Mac that I tested on was a MacBook Pro from early 2008. Clearly, this function isn't present on all models. I can try it on others and seeing if it works on them, however. Also, why the if statements on lines 59 and 65, which indicate whether the OS version and/or vendor was set. What is the point of them? Why not just call the functions directly? > > > > _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing > list Grub-devel@gnu.org > https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSxwOMAAoJEFbRvtGxmFPELWoH+QGu7aLuDam0vY+xW8h4TdFw ckY51K8vgEGlpUNvK2fwQnnAt57W3jH14HBIRY1IaC+c9XA3mooqp748xh0jfoV/ D95lZJuYu3XP4iFYtCehcCVOiz+x4DNXMnT6WA6hd5FjPT9xqbBqf/9RxSpN9O+i ZGbSe/ZQkOvTyLXJ11L3SeTlNi9jqA03mLaMrMi7Ehb7AU3hBkiSMpiiIcUjnP3o ZskQrSkguqt9Kt+FlHheTJkpAitqqJR/GpHkegg3bNGLrflacVGITMFFw0EsJP4R h0fsEocfYnvSVPrw07SJVFvt2TzPGB69p5QXy11cU1ZBYUhILcG7rDTAmVctZig= =wKye -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
