I have looked at this problem deeply, and I think the following changes
would be required:
- A variable to specify where grub.cfg and modules are present. Currently,
we have it only for a prefix without a drive. So grub_root_drive or
something must be added. It could be added to kern/i386/pc/st
Hi all,
Some more info. I have 2 hard disk drives. One is a 160 IDE HDD &
the other 80 GB IDE HDD.
160 GB = Other OSS = IDE0
80 GB = GNU/Linux = IDE1
I hope somebody can help me, thanx.

You could ask Marco or Okuji and see what they think about it. If they

I'm neither of both, but here are my two cents:

Here a small patch for a minor issue:
cat command does not work well for files including '\r' because the
previous line may be overwritten.
In grub-emu, files with cr/lf line endings are invisible due to ncurses
behavior.

When this script is run inside GRUB Legacy directory, it will
convert it to a Multiboot directory by ripping lots of stuff and
patching some files, such that it only contains static files and is
ready to be imported as a CVS module.
There are still some open questions though, like what do we put

Hey, I just wrote manpages for everything!
Well, actually I wrote this patch that makes our build system probe for
help2man, and use it to generate a manpage automatically for each
utility. :-)
They can be a good substitute for the info manual we don't have yet, or
(in the future) a complement t

Ugh, that "; then" looks really bad. Who told you to put that in your

Hi all,
First of all let me congratulate everybody on 1.96 release. Just one
of the users who has been waiting to see what u guys cook :)
Now for the first time I'm able to see something other than the
rectangular box but the problem is it passes too quickly. I want to
make sure that it takes atl
A CD created by "grub-mkrescue --image-type=cdrom" does not work for me
for some reason. Is it probably necessary to supply -boot-load-seg to
genisoimage?
But booting a grub2 rescue floppy image in El Torito emulation mode
works. This patch adds the image type "floppycd" to create such a CD.

Fixes an ugly result of setting timeout=0.
When this is combined with the "sleep" patch I just sent, user can implement
hiddenmenu-like functionality via scripting:
echo -n "Press `ESC' to enter the menu... "
if sleep -v -i 10 ; then
set timeout=10
else
set timeout=0

New patch to fix partmap detection in LVM/RAID. Changes in comparison to
previous patch:
- Add LVM detection.
- Rename the structures/functions to make them more descriptive.
- Fix a minor memleak.
This is only known to work on proof-of-concept test systems. *Please* anyone
