That's because core.img is a.out format multiboot kernel, but the current multiboot loader can only handle elf format. My bsd patch add a.out support for multiboot. with that, you can load core.img successfully. > grub> multiboot /boot/grub/stage2 > alloc magic is broken at 0x93c50 > Aborted. Press any key to exit. stage2 is not multiboot format, actually, it's not of any format. The alloc magic broken is caused by a bug in the multiboot loader, my bsd also fit this, it will print the error message: "currently only ELF is supported" however, it's still possible to load GRUB Legacy with my grubutil package. It contain several header file which you can use to load various boot loader from any loader that support linux kernel. For example, the header for grub legacy is ldgrub.bin, you can use it like this: linux ldgrub.bin initrd stage2 -- Bean _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
