Yes, I ran into both the 512k limit that grub-setup enforces, and even when under that, but still close, my test system throws a read error from diskboot.S trying to load the whole image. Is the decompression done in real mode too, so even uncompressed, it has to fit in 512k? Maybe diskboot.S could load only the kernel+builtin modules part of the image, make sure biosdisk is built in, and have memdisk load the memdisk part of the image once it initializes and is in protected mode? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRHTxLAAoJEJrBOlT6nu75rJgIANA23r5beH5ML7LJelw+5oxk kVkcr+gqITGLZG66wTG9UGx10j3AZ/OGOdzEzCMMjIzzH69u8bPRg2YjKFSHkPWi 9IGK8vtqBxQxxgJWOahD/mhzYlwjyIvnCMKTk9jG/e1fAY8FKs/cRtk844RvfEX9 fL1pDPS9PTqYD8nc79voH3vOLkrd7aUjf6JECCnMQPh6CTQN6ieTm1+1n3BoUK3W EPKxrzMxPTNt6VsGX/VnhWT6luqXo+r7mzt9kYogzUw31JjuyJwj6/6tz9fQNjqp aR29GoZxdcvD4Zvuw0WuyssDA/9gReUJ6oUVsUzhHQUggnXUMakVxW0SNqAOn9A= =lfBh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
