Hi All,
I needed to do following modification in order to build grub2 on my
64bit laptop. In case there is no complaints I will commit it to CVS.
Additionally I needed to install gcc-multilib package (and normal
packages like ruby, lzo...).
And after that just doing following made runnable

Hi All,
Here is patch for fixing vga terminal. At least it worked fine on qemu.
Now it uses only font system to get fonts so you need to load font
module and use fonts. See gfxterm section on the wiki on how to do that.
I had to edit patch by hand as 64bit patch is still pending and I need
that
