I have seen that grub2 has a 4Gb limit when detecting memory size and
mmap. I think that is not good for both x86 and x86_64. i686 for
example can use 64 Gb of RAM. As for x86_64 it is 2^52 bytes. I can
try to fix this... But I also need an answer about ELF64 multiboot.
Best regards, Ruslan.
Ruslan,
I can see this would be a problem for the final running kernel.
However, is 4GB sufficient for kernel loading & kernel memory discovery?
I am interested in situations were 4GB would not be sufficient.
Say, having grub2 being utilized for full device discovery for a
minimalistic kernel...
Or, having grub2 be the minimalistic kernel...
Forgive me, I am still learning the Weirding Ways ;)
