There are 29 Mandriva patches, 11 of them touch stage2 (grep /stage2/ *.patch). When applying on top the Ubuntu patches, only 4 apply cleanly. 4 others would apply without Ubuntu patches and one touches only reiserfs_stage1_5. I did not verify the order of the patches, which could help for the last 2, or else they would need more tweaking.
In the first place, without too much effort, I compiled stage files using Feisty grub + the 4 easy Mandriva patches: grub-0.5.96.1-ezd.patch grub-0.91-nice-magic.patch grub-0.95-eltorito.patch grub-0.95-mem_lower.patch Let's see how lucky we are. BTW, do you guys have 4GB RAM? ** Attachment added: "stage files including 4 Mandriva patches" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7835184/feisty%2B4ofMDV.tgz -- "ALERT! does not exist" at boot with ICH7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
