Wah. It's ACPI all over again. No, a better solution is to strip the bootloader down to the minimum needed to pull in Linux and start it and pretend that we never had a bootloader. Migrating functionality out of Linux can make sense IMO if the new home has radically different characteristics (ie, PMU management -> always on MPU) but the different characteristic of bootloader is that it is the same but has no virtual memory or other conveniences of Linux. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEUEARECAAYFAkhGPbIACgkQOjLpvpq7dMopegCfQfPw93BY2hNPTPU/bsNv8Yg3 CnkAmJsvZV7r3fEHYO0NEq1r+qKBrIQ= =UmGU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
