I could be wrong.
Is there a list of use cases which are missing in syslinux? On all systems where I have to touch the bootloader (running custom kernels, using one-shot, ...) I always install gummiboot or syslinux because grub2 sucks so much. grub1 worked quite well but grub2 is a PITA. -- Thanks, //richard P.s: Sorry for flaming but gub2 disappointed me more than once. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
