Grub2 usb stick boot error

2008-06-23 Thread Fulvio Scapin
I am having a problem using Grub2 to boot some bootable partition stored on a usb stick. Basically I am trying to fit several distros, all fat partitions made bootable with syslinux, on a usb stick and use grub2 to select and boot one of them. I should say that I come across two distinct cases, one

[RFC] High resolution time support using x86 TSC

2008-06-23 Thread Colin D Bennett
I have implemented high resolution time support (through the new grub_get_time_ms() function) using the RDTSC instruction available on Pentium and higher x86 CPUs. The TSC value is simply a 64-bit block cycle counter that is zeroed at bootup, so grub_main() calls grub_time_init(), which is defined
