[PATCH] menu_entry: Disable cursor during update_screen()

When running grub in a VGA console of a KVM pseries guest on PowerPC, you can see the cursor sweeping over the whole line when entering a character in editor mode. This is visible because grub always refreshes the whole line when entering a character in editor mode, and drawing characters is quite

"newc additions on runtime" feature?

Hi all, Commit 92750e4c ("Add ability to generate newc additions on runtime.") introduced special handling of initrd names starting with "newc:". I can't find any documentation for this feature nor any example of it actually in use; what are its semantics? Is there any chance this functionali

Re: [PATCH v2] Initial support for the android bootimg filesystem.

I actually think that both approaches have pros and cons. Can we settle on a design before plunging forward? We should have feature parity between Android image and plain linux. I.a. it should be possible to replace or append initrd and command line. Doing this with a single command is tricky. Does

Re: [PATCH v2] Initial support for the android bootimg filesystem.

The bootimg contains a kernel, optional initrd, optional secondary payload (unused on x86 as far as I know), and kernel command line, as well as recommended load addresses for the kernel, initrd, secondary payload, and kernel tags (also unused on x86 as far as I know). Making the linux command rec

Re: [PATCH v2] Initial support for the android bootimg filesystem.

I think we should create a new loader(maybe separating common linux and android code into a lib) for this rather than a filesystem because it would simplify grub.cfg files. Also in case we'll ever need to support 2ndloader(I'm like 99% sure this will never happen though) it would be easier to imple

[PATCH V2] tcp: add window scaling and RTTM support

Sometimes we have to provision boxes across regions, such as California to Sweden. The http server has a 10 minute timeout, so if we can't get our 250mb image transferred fast enough our provisioning fails, which is not ideal. So add tcp window scaling on open connections and set the window size
