filename to GRUB Legacy GRUB Legacy reserves 89 bytes for storing the filename of the configfile from memory address 0x8217 to 0x826f. We allow overwriting the default value (/boot/grub/menu.lst) when grubcfg=<filename> is used together with grub=<loader>. Examples: chain.c32 fs grub=/boot/grub/stage2 grubcfg=/boot/grub/grub.lst chain.c32 hd1,10 grub=/boot/grub/stage2

Here is a patch that makes it possible to chainload GRUB2 core.img form chain.c32. It reuses the grub= parameter (used for chainloading GRUB Legacy stage2): - both loaded at 0x8000 - start execution at offset 0x200 (0x8200 in memory) GRUB2 allows to specify another "GRUB home dir" than the standard /boot/grub GRUB2 doesn't allow to change the configfile 'grub.cfg' name

Allow the grub loader to (optionally) support using a GRUB menu file. For example chain fs grub=stage2,grub.conf will load GRUB's stage2 and pass the (absolute) path to the file "grub.conf" in the Syslinux filesystem to GRUB's stage2. The path is passed to stage2 in GRUB's device/partition syntax (eg, "(hd0,1)/foo"). Note that we don't check whether the

Grub Legacy stage2 will read the install_partition variable from memory address 0x8208. We only need to change the value at 0x820a to the correct partition number: -1: whole drive (default) 0-3: primary partitions 4-*: logical partitions Signed-off-by: Gert Hulselmans <gerth at zytor.com> --- com32/modules/chain.c | 13 ++++++++----- 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 5

Dear All: I am having trouble trying to dual-boot VMware and Linux, and I tried everything I could come up with. The situation is that /dev/sda is fully used by VMware and /dev/sdb is used by Linux. VMware uses Syslinux, so I thought this would be simple... However, it is not. The bootable FAT partition is too smal to have kernels in it. As a fallback I tried to chain-load GRUB, but that did not

This patch introduces extra functionality to chain.c, mainly with reference to BPB adjustments, but not only that. It expects 3 small patches I sent earlier (they are included for easy reference, patches 1-3/4). The changes introduced are: 1) file and boot sector use separate options to control load address and jump address (if applicable). Options are as described below: *

This adds (basic) support for GRUB stage2 image files. Loading a stage2 image will probably give you a GRUB prompt, with GRUB's "root" set at "(hd0)" (ie, entire first disk). Maybe the "root" will differ in less common setups. (One can of course select another disk and/or partition with GRUB's "root" command.) This has only been tested with version

This is a bit updated set of chain.c32 changes that simplifies a few things (and in partiter part), fixes few minor issues and adds a few new features. Details are in the following commits, below is the summary and pull details at the end. Shao - any chance to peek over them ? Most of those are relatively simple changes and well tested, though of course something might have slipped my attention.

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.

I never thought I'd say this, but I think it's easier to do this with GRUB 2. Anyway I did an installation to raid1's in CentOS 6's installer, which still uses GRUB legacy. I tested removing each of the two devices and it still boots. These are the commands in its log: : Running... ['/sbin/grub-install', '--just-copy'] : Running... ['/sbin/grub',
