I noticed that a new beta version of grub2 was released last week. http://grub.enbug.org/ I downloaded and built grub-1.97~beta2.tar.gz. Here are couple of comments. 1. The filename is weird. I don't know why they insist on being different, but a tilde in the tarball and directory structure is confusing because it could be mistaken for the user's home directory. 2. configure errors out if you don't have ruby installed. It is only used in configure to generate the Makefile. The ruby file is only about 400 lines long. I would hope (but am not optimistic) that it won't be required to make the final grub2 release. 3. The make stage built without error and with very few warnings. 4. It seems to support all the LFS targeted architectures. 5. I'm still researching how to use it. It seems a bit more complex to configure than the grub we are currently using. I found http://grub.enbug.org/Manual, but have not had a chance to read it yet. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
