We could compile special grub-emu =20 > modules, but I would not spend any serious effort on it. Hi, I think that using grub-emu might be a good idea for testing. I think there= should be grub-emu architecture that could be compiled and in example ther= e would be grub-emu specific disk layer, input layer and so on. So we could= use grub-emu almost as same way we can do in real runtime environment. I k= now Marco will be using grub-emu like this on his GSoC project and I think = it is a good thing too. But it needs some work of course. We could do some special testing framework using this method. Eg. we could = drive user input from special user input module that can be controlled from= outside. So please, do not at least remove support for using 64bit modules on 64bit = systems :) (or otherwise make it harder to be supported later on) Thanks, Vesa J=E4=E4skel=E4inen
