I tried to prelink "apple" and "hfs" by changing the makefiles. The functionality wasn't available. It makes sense, because the core doesn't know that the modules are linked. The modules are never registered with the core. It would be nice to have some linker trick to tell the code about the prelinked modules. That could make grub-mkimage a very thin wrapper around "ld -r", perhaps written as a shell script. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
