Hi,
first, congratulations to the 1.97-release!
I vainly tried to run the latest grub2 (Revision: 2663) as payload to coreboot (Revision: 4852) following the wikipage:
http://grub.enbug.org/CoreBoot
Is this page still up to date and does anybody use grub2 as payload successfully? How?
Hi,
It appears that since r4534 (move to Kconfig), Multiboot information is no longer built in by default. You have to enable it in "System tables" / "Generate Multiboot tables (for GRUB2)", then GRUB works fine (at least on QEMU, which I just tested).
Coreboot developers: would you consider enabling it again? The overhead is minimal, and it would make this less confusing for users.
Just checked, they're placed somewhere in the F segment.
That means they'll be overwritten when SeaBIOS is used as payload. Not tragic, but is there a better place we can put them? or would this even be unhealthy or useless?
