Subject: [PATCH/DRAFT] Support linux boot protocol >= 2.02 long command-lines
Date: Fri, 2 May 2008 19:36:01 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200805021936.02614.alon.barlev@gmail.com> (raw)


Hello,

Continue from bug#13606 [1]

cmd_line_ptr should not be truncated to 256.

A draft patch is provided. I could not test it as grub-2 does not work in my VMWare (ATA) configuration.
It enters rescue prompt and when I set root (hd0, 1) I get "error: unknown device".
I tried adding many modules (lspci for example) but not see any command when typing help.

Please review this patch or apply something better.
For EFI I did not understand what the lh.cl_offset = 0 is for, but as only recent boot protocols are
supported I am not sure it is required.
