Does it work with the etherboot filo btw?
Yes; that's what I've been using. But it _only_ works if I guarantee at least 3 to 4 seconds of bootup delay; that's why I have the AUTOBOOT_DELAY set to 5. But that doesn't work for Filo 0.5 - maybe it tries to find the disks before doing the AUTOBOOT_DELAY?
Yes, it immediately tries to load the menu.lst file. If you dont want a grub style menu you can disable USE_GRUB to get the old behavior
Actually, I was looking forward to having a GRUB style bootloader - for a production machine in a datacenter that's a nice thing to have.
can you add a delay(5); or delay(10); before grub_main(); in main/filo.c and see if that helps?
Yes, delay(5) does the trick. Maybe this could be made into a configurable parameter?
Thanks, Ward.
