#78: Implement larfs to handle GRUB2 modules in flash easily. ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: stepan | Owner: somebody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Port GRUB2 to LinuxBIOS Component: code | Version: v3 Keywords: | Dependencies: Patchstatus: there is no patch | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Implement a (simple) larfs driver in grub. Besides making it easy to solve the module loading itself, it would also help us
- with copyright issues: if we port over the usb stack from FILO, it would not have to be part of the grub2 tree with all the efforts of getting it in there
- with using grub2 as a 1st stage bootloader to load other payloads directly from flash, ie payloads that are in multiboot format rather than pure ELF. (I have XEN in mind)
