I'm happily running Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, although I could swear the distribution was called "Lubuntu" when I downloaded it. Instead of trying to make grub work I added a /boot_linux.sh with the contents below. The only drawback is I have to change the symlink for initrd.img whenever I get a new kernel. Instead of an absolute path I need the relative path, so
From: initrd.img -> /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-32-generic To: initrd.img -> boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-32-generic cat /boot_linux.sh #!/bin/bash # echo "this is a boot_linux.sh script" # # mkdir -p /tmp/rootfs mount /dev/sda4 /tmp/rootfs kexec -u kexec --load /tmp/rootfs/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic --initrd=/tmp/rootfs/boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-24-generic --command-line="root=/dev/sda4" kexec -e Hope this helps, Knut Forkalsrud PS: I also found this helpful: http://theangryangel.co.uk/blog/debian-on-the-appletv On Thu, Jan 10, 2013 at 9:58 PM, Robert Baptista <rob...@rbcardiff.net>wrote: > I supplied Davilla with a patch a while back for grub2 support.
