Subject: [PATCH] Explicitly build msdos partition support into EFI executables
Date: Wed, 05 Jan 2011 10:45:00 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D24A00C.1010100@Dell.com> (raw)


[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 389 bytes --]

Hi:

Currently EFI executables don't include part_msdos or vfat support by 
default.  This means that EFI executables can only be launched directly 
from ISO9660 filesystems.  The attached patch explicitly adds part_msdos 
and vfat so that the rest of the GRUB files can be found on other 
devices, such as USB keys.

Thanks,
