In grub2 you have to specify the kernel type when loading, i.e.: "linux /boot/vmlinuz" or "multiboot /boot/mach.gz". >=20 > Can grub2 load solaris 32 kernel? =EF=BB=BFIs Solaris Multiboot-compatible? If not, you can try to use its ow= n bootloader through the `chainloader' command. However, if grub1 could load it with "kernel", either there was a specific loader for it or the Solaris kernel was compatible with one of the grub1 loaders: try with all the grub2 loaders (multiboot, bsd, linux) and only then resort to chainloader. =EF=BB=BFYou (or someone else) can also try to either port the grub1 Solari= s loader (if it exists) or write a new grub2 loader for it but I don't know if the latter would be possible without specs. Besides, in order for such a new loader to be incorporable to the "official" grub2, the development process must follow some guidelines in order to avoid future legal problems, like "no reverse engineering" (maybe clean room techniques are OK, but I don't know the FSF policy) and so on. --=-DOTowjDwNL6aTWTkf0Gl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Esta parte del mensaje =?ISO-8859-1?Q?est=E1?= firmada digitalmente -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iQIVAwUASH9W9KSl+Fbdeo72AQLv3A/+Kvt0sMDo5b4sBYyOkzXAbvyojksEr8i7 WFU/1bHm04ZB2Ubsl/o+yawuqapIM4nS0/cYa7DIpLQs+iLpJ6nCvGsgwcuvl8uk IG7ZAeuVG8Y7VZR9vWRwInTCMBDtgmEj82HSKYGb9BZdqJKGkXQwpV4ADqHioWbB tJabeqeyFjdm1Zx8F7/qmPHHLfRi2VS/vV0BWKBsCxyYmKw/rZFy9M4cBA53W60U rY2NpnilhhETdw3cEFt8daW5gD9Oc34EApqmCuGbz9CtHBQUkzoiW613tDW98M5W 4HZDgwY8gbvKWqaY/hoed1MI7YwZG5C0UpikXTYOq1Gar1HOHsZeeOVZedmE9daR 4lsteabU7evrjUrzEBZw39A9FuYaS9TroskH2thLJTGVzqvPcF1s2FkvvoXuSHe4 +tSTA2VrMunpJ7mFHn+f92kJ2SpO1o7K9O3yYlsPPAkcbaRVlA7FWkWn7GAcOOy9 Y8Q4mC8hxIpHZ+dt8M7NTL85v7CfetobI1vwhWi0nzmdr0CGjM20QGnWt97ng2Y7 N+Xdu8xbPZPkn5y38ojMtAxQupevfZ41GY9pjByD4fzzaTYLEdSGyvtQvJKKhgXl 0YNLoRaFMGu24NNbGV3YmXkWMNY2FcSEcl7LiGYjvXzUBs0E/poqJo9vIsksd35+ ytpUMvr6kP8= =FTO/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-DOTowjDwNL6aTWTkf0Gl--
