I wonder why doesn't our current linux loader fail gracefuly and tell user to use linux16. I thought we had code specifically to do this! if (! (lh.loadflags & GRUB_LINUX_FLAG_BIG_KERNEL)) { grub_error (GRUB_ERR_BAD_OS, "zImage doesn't support 32-bit boot" #ifdef GRUB_MACHINE_PCBIOS " (try with `linux16')" #endif ); goto fail; } /* FIXME: 2.03 is not always good enough (Linux 2.4 can be 2.03 and still not support 32-bit boot. */ if (lh.header != grub_cpu_to_le32 (GRUB_LINUX_MAGIC_SIGNATURE) || grub_le_to_cpu16 (lh.version) < 0x0203) { grub_error (GRUB_ERR_BAD_OS, "version too old for 32-bit boot" #ifdef GRUB_MACHINE_PCBIOS " (try with `linux16')" #endif ); goto fail; } -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
