Revision as of 23:47, 6 October 2007

Introduction

Our long term goal is to replace the common LinuxBIOS payload FILO with a LinuxBIOS-capable version of GRUB2.

Status

Patrick Georgi has been working on GRUB2 for LinuxBIOS during the Google Summer of Code 2007.

Todo:

Fix lbgrub2 for LinuxBIOS v2
USB stack integration
Fix larfs to reflect latest changes
export console device in linuxbios table and read this entry in grub2.

How to build GRUB2 as a payload

$ # build lbgrub2:
$ # target/target_alias assume that you use i386-elf-gcc
$ configure --with-platform=linuxbios --prefix=$PWD/installed 
$ make && make install
$ $PWD/installed/bin/grub-mkimage -o core.img normal fat iso9660 ext2 pc atadisk rom lar ls cat cmp hello help serial terminal test configfile multiboot boot loopback
