Had found nothing that would have been *mandatory* to change in grub 2's kernel.

I understand we will have to face some interface changes from time to time but I am ready for that too ... and that will make things even better. > > I don't know what Marco, Yoshinori and others would like to do for Grub > > 3 to X, so I just ask. >=20 > First I would like to see GRUB 2 being finished.

I am quite confused with drivers dealing with BIOS, but I don't want to feel helpless, so I'll try to do something useful with grub-emu and let you know if I can work on grub's kernel (is there anything missing you'd like to add ?).=20 By the way, is there anybody working on having the vbe interface working on grub-emu ? Any hint to help me start work on it ? Best regards, _________________________________________ Eric Salom=E9 - Paris - France
