Well, I'm not sure what you mean by "help you". We're certainly not going
to write code for you.

I'm not a project maintainer, but typically the way things work here is
that you submit the patch to this mailing list (you can view lots of
information on this on the web) and then if it is good a maintainer like
Vladimir will okay it and it will go into the GRUB source code.

How to exit from linux kernel and return to then grub?

2014-05-17 Thread Z C
If I boot into a linux kernel using a grub command like "linux /vmlinuz;
inirtd /initrd; boot", how do I shutdown linux itself (but do not power off
or reboot the computer hardware) and return back to the grub directly?

What I meant is something equivalent to the "exit" command in most shells:
If you are within one shell and you enter another shell, then if you want
to quit the second shell and return back to the first shell, just simply
type exit. All env variables and commands you previous typed in the first
shell are completely intact.

Suppose I am now in the grub shell, and then I boot into a tiny linux
kernel, say, a busybox shell, then what can I do to exit the second shell
(i.e. busybox shell) and return to the first shell (i.e. grub shell)? Of
course I can enter the grub shell again by simply rebooting the hardware,
but this is not what I want.
