...slice, etc. (ie, to tell stage2 what it's "root" is). I don't yet understand the notation used in that mechanism. Besides, since stage2 images will not necessarily be loaded from the disk (and partition, etc.) they were installed to, it seems best to just use the first disk. GRUB stage1_5 image files load quite similarly. However, for some reason, a short test only got those images to print an error ("Error 17"). This could be related to the partition info these images are provided with when they're loaded. I have never used stage1_5 images, and do not know how to prop...

..., mkdosfs, memdisk etc. I have done the following: 1. dd if=/dev/zero of=myImage bs=1M count=50 [ Builds a 52MB image ] 2. losetup /dev/loop0 myImage [Links /dev/loop0 to myImage file ] 3. vi /grub/stage1; %!xxd; [ NULL the partion tablei within stage1 ]; %!xxd -r; 4. cat /grub/stage1 /grub/fat_stage1_5 > /dev/loop0 [ Puts the GRUB boot loader into the MBR of the image and stage1_5 after that ] 5. fdisk /dev/loop0 [ I use this to create a new single partition ] I now have a hard disk image of 52MB with a single partition on it, and a MBR with GRUB?? Unfortunately I know of no way to for...

Hi, The following patches add support for ext4 and btrfs to PV-GRUB. These patches are taken nearly verbatim from those provided by Fedora and Gentoo. We''ve been using these patches for the PV-GRUB images available in EC2 for some time now with no problems. Changes from v1: - Makefile has been changed to check the exit code from patch - The btrfs patch has been rebased to apply

Note, that it is important to embed and use btrfs_stage1_5. First, because btrfs has defragmentator, which can make the blocklist out of date (so that you''ll need to reinsta...

If I have a system with two disks, where device.map labels one as hd0 and the other as hd1, and I swap those numbers, the resulting boot sector will differ by one bit.

Add a couple of documentation details about PV-GRUB support - the menu.lst content can be passed as a ramdisk. - virtual partitions are not supported.
