core.img isn't static; it depends on your system. What modules are built into core.img in your case? There's unfortunately no way to interrogate an existing image that I know of, but if you figure out the appropriate grub-install command and then run this: grub-install --debug $wherever_grub_should_be_installed 2>&1 | grep grub-mkimage ... then that should tell you. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
