Finally I have some time to work on this series again. I don't think this makes sense now for the following reasons: - Maran's series is stalled - The main work is hypervisor specific and I have no idea right now what would be needed for KVM - Maran's series was targeted for a quick boot of the kernel right from qemu without any other boot loader Juergen _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
