preboot_rest_func is a function which should undo any action taken by
preboot_func. It's used if either loader aborts due to an error or
return
The way it looks to me is that preboot_func is the function to be
executed a preboot time, whereas preboot_rest_func is a cleanup
function to be called to "restore" things to the pre-preboot_func state.
Something like this anyway.. its not yet real clear to me either.

I have your preboot hooks patch incorporated into grub-r2106 along with
a suitably updated version of drivemap, which remains flawlessly working
with 2nd-harddisk Windows XP boots (grub being installed on the 1st
harddisk along with Linux). Had to make a few minor changes to the
preboot hooks
Yes it is. Also it's better to use grub_mmap_iterate instead of basing
the location on 0x413 value. How to do it look at mmap/i386/pc/mmap.c

If you want your code to be incorporated you need to sign the copyright
assignment.

Hello list,
GRUB2 is a robust boot loader. Is it possible to have truecrypt encryption
support dirctly in GRUB2 ? Then we can have truecrypt encrypted partition with
linux installed and GRUB2 just decrypt it and load the kernel.
Thanks

Hello
If this is possible (and there isn't already an implementation of it)
then I would also like this feature!

Good suggestion!

Hi,

Thanks Bean. Totally appreciate your help with this.

Michael Gorven has already implemented LUKS support for grub2. Using
truecrypt with linux partitions is a bad idea - this encryption isn't
native to it in any way and also truecrypt is under GPL-incompatible
licence which means it's unlikely to be incorporated to grub (you need

Hello!
It seems to me that the code quality has decreased in the last weeks.
In the same time, we have a growing number of compiler warnings. It
looks like there is a relationship between the two.
I'll appreciate if everybody who recently contributed to GRUB looks at
the remaining warnings and f
Sounds like grub needs a git server (with /~user/stuff.git dirs)
I'll see about testing it with some various gear.
