Oh, that sounds good. Protect the Multiboot information structure from overwriting ist a realy hard job. > This is all for GRUB 2. For GRUB Legacy this just won't happen, I > think. But how log does it take before I can use it? GRUB Legacy comes with every new Linux distribution. Thats is realy cool, so that the current Multiboot Specification is a Standard that works. I don't want to break with that Standard. Are there any Multiboot-compliant x86-64 Kernels out there? If yes, how do do they that? cu Alita -- Lust, ein paar Euro nebenbei zu verdienen?
