The patch you are talking about is for GRUB Legacy, this mailinglist is about GRUB 2. Personally I wouldn't mind such support. Can you please describe what this support means? I assume it is just a filesystem that needs to be supported? I don't have the hardware, but implementing the filesystem should be easy if someone can give me an image of a filesystem. -- Marco
