Re: Re: search and boot using GPT GUID values

Great that somebody agrees with me on the GUIDs =) In you have problems with compile/testing, feel free to reply here (or to my mail directly). I ahave made some fixes to it. Again, I am talking about integration it to the GRUB. This is MUST HAVE feature, at least for UEFI support -- This mess

GRUB2 for UEFI crashes at startup when we got 8 gigabyte of memory

In Febryary I was testing GRUB for UEFI and noticed that it was simply crashing. See topic http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2010-02/msg0.html At that time I blamed incorrect UEFI implementation on that computer (cause it worked fine on another one), but now I noticed that when I

Search GPT partition in GRUB

Hello everybody. I am currently trying to realize the following functionality: I want grub to load the kernel from GPT partition. I am using grub build for UEFI. So, I got following questions for now: I don't want to use standart naming conversion, here are some reasons: * It is not clear what
