How? Hi, It appears that since r4534 (move to Kconfig), Multiboot information is no longer built in by default. You have to enable it in "System tables" / "Generate Multiboot tables (for GRUB2)", then GRUB works fine (at least on QEMU, which I just tested). Coreboot developers: would you consider enabling it again? The overhead is minimal, and it would make this less confusing for users. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
