Core.img size was critical due to the large ntfs.mod. With LZMA, there is enough space for ntfscomp.mod and even more. I posted the 3 remaining patches today, see: [PATCH] grub-probe -t prefix, fix update-grub_lib for Cygwin [PATCH] Kernel fixes for Cygwin [PATCH] Build fixes for Cygwin With these patches, Grub compiles & works out-of-the-box on Cygwin. If there are no complaints, I will commit these in a week or so. Christian
