Please give me more time. I will look at your patch, but I have things to do
myself.
BTW, you should write ChangeLog.

You are absolutely right. The idea behind is that GRUB itself does not require
much memory, while passing

I have seen that grub2 has a 4Gb limit when detecting memory size and

try to fix this... But I also need an answer about ELF64 multiboot.
Hi!
I sent new patch for mutiboot: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2005-07/msg00130.html
Is it correct now?

Hi all!
I'm developing free x86_64 (amd64) operation system now. I decided to make the
kernel
multiboot-complient and use grub2 as a boot loader.
Of course I have some problems:
1. AMD64 processor require to enable paging and to fill page tables before
entering
long
mode (64-bit mode
