Hello! Jordan I can create the library that is based on the most recent revision of libpayload without any problem. But what about creating a working (or workable) payload from that? For example, where is that documented in the wiki? (Obviously from the same place where I found the instructions to obtain the libpayload code from the SVN storage point. But it's not obvious to me.) On a related list Robert explained how to create grub.elf, I just posted a note that I got it to work, both building of the thing, and booting it, using Bochs. ----- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] "This signature was once found posting rude messages in English in the Moscow subway." -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
