memdisk.mod is indeed just for loading a memdisk stored in the core.img, but you can use syslinux's memdisk with grub2. Syslinux's memdisk is loaded like a linux kernel (specifically using the 16 bit rather than 32 bit linux protocol). Instructions for using Syslinux's memdisk from GRUB2 can be found here: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK#GRUB2 . -- Jordan Uggla (Jordan_U on irc.freenode.net) _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
