Last time i did a build, admitedly a long time ago, grub 2 worked fine. I ran into some issues during the configure phase because I was building on a grub 1 host(lfs live disc). If memory serves correctly i booted from another live disc that had grub 2, chrooted, and reran the grub 2 configuration. 64 bit grub 2 works fine. Grub's binaries never liked hardening options (i forget whether it was fortify source or stack protection) so I just tend to disable them. The grub team may have fixed that, but I'm not sure. Grub is pretty simple. The problems we tend to run into stem from our build environments not the tool itself. Have patience, this stuff all works when you are persistant enough. - Show quoted text - On May 29, 2011 3:50 AM, "Rogelio Serrano" <rogelio.serr...@gmail.com> wrote: > grub 2 is a totally unusable. its autotools turned into a kernel! lfs > needs a more powerful but simpler bootloader! > > its the version 2 problem gone wild! > > -- > quarq consulting: agile, open source > -- > http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev > FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ > Unsubscribe: See the above information page
