(still ?) root on LVM problems

Hi, I had a peek at the ML lately and saw a few messages reporting some success in using GRUB2 as a bootloader in a root-on-lvm setup. I decided to give it a try, so I grabbed it from CVS, but unfortunately it didn't work, just as in my previous tries :( I can't get why but grub-setup insists on

Using GRUB2 with CoreBoot (formerly known as LinuxBIOS) 1/4: Find tables

2008-01-12 Thread Patrick Georgi
Hi, I had several issues with getting GRUB2 to run on CoreBoot (aka LinuxBIOS), which I'll describe here. They're rather trivial (I have patches), so someone with a working relationship with the FSF, experience with the GRUB2 codebase and C, and 15 minutes time for each issue should be able to

Using GRUB2 with CoreBoot (formerly known as LinuxBIOS) 2/4: Keyboard controller

2008-01-12 Thread Patrick Georgi
Hi, second installement of my mini-series: The AT keyboard driver assumes that the keyboard is set to scancode set #1. It seems like many keyboards use set #2 (or even #3) by default now, and some 8042-emulating chipsets don't enable translation (to #1) by default. The BIOS then enables it to
