Anyone know if grub-static-0.97-r9 supports ext4? There seem to be
patches floating around which add support, but I'm unable to tell
if the
gentoo version has this or not.
You've probably seen the saying:
"Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.
Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime."
In that spirit...
Documenting that sort of thing is what changelogs are for.
Try this, making the path substitution appropriate for your system:
head -20 $PORTDIR/sys-boot/grub-static/Changelog
See what it says about the version you asked about? Guess where
you look
now.
There's your answer. =:^)
The Changelog thing is useful thanks, but

doesn't answer my initial question =) Throwing my fishing pole back
into the water I noticed that neither the grub-static or grub
Changelogs reference ext4 so I'm going to suppose the answer to my
question is no.

I answered that initially. Grub does not support ext3 or ext4.
