I just checked in your last USB patch, after reviewing it: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2008-08/msg00604.html I agree it's best to commit it. It has a few minor problems, but this is much better than leaving it to bitrot. Then we can work on fixing them more easily. Let's enumerate them again: - OHCI works on qemu but hasn't been tested on real hardware. - --enable-grub-emu-usb isn't yet known to work. - There might be endianess issues affecting powerpc (note: we aren't building it there yet, we'd have to move PCI support to i386.rmk first) - A few parts of it are marked "XXX". I'll add one more to the list: keyboard support wasn't included in this patch. I'll look into your other pieces of code and retrieve a working keyboard driver. Other than this, massive storage on UHCI should work fine. See http://grub.enbug.org/USBSupport for details on how to use it. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
