Now this is interesting as I've just today seen an incompatibility between booting a multiboot kernel with GRUB legacy and GRUB2. It might actually be the same issue, but I didn't fully investigate yet. Therefore I'm quite interested in seeing your patch. > Since I've never actually contributed code to a GNU project before, are Welcome! > there certain rules and regulations of some sort that I have to comply with Your guessed right: sure there are :-).
