Hello, I started working on bringing in compatible boot loaders for use with x86_64 (and, possibly, PowerPC). The idea at first was just to move all bootloaders down to chapter 8 and list which ones are compatible for which arch/setup.
I have started on that route already, see here: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~jhuntwork/lfs-trunk/ But as I'm working on this, I figured I'd pop in to grub2 headquarters and see what the status is. I know that historically, this community hasn't really been too fond of grub2 because of all the perceived attention spent on bells and whistles. Still, the idea of one bootloader that works for nearly all hardware (their site says: It is working on PC, OpenFirmware-based PowerPC machines (PowerMac and Pegasos) and EFI-based PC (IntelMac)), it's just too attractive to ignore completely. The latest version is 1.96, released in February of this year. Has anyone tested this yet? -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
