I have been playing with it and here are some things I noticed: Module loading did not work for me. At first I has an image with boot.mod excluded. I loaded boot.mod manually (from an ext2 filesystem) and it crashed after I ran the `boot' command. The module does work when I include it in the image. Is this a known problem? I will look into this and fix it when I have some time again, although I have no clue when that will be because I thought too often I would have time while that turned out not to be true. So if someone else wants to fix this, don't wait for me. Another thing is Linux. This might be a bit off-topic, but it is essential if I want to switch to GRUB 2 completely some day soon. Okuji, you were able to load Linux properly, right? I can't get the framebuffer to work. I am booting with "video=imacfb:macbook", have imacfb and EFI boot support compiled in. When booting the display is messed up. With some kernels+attempts I see the mess scrolling by, but it does not come to a point where I see something or can ssh into this box. Thanks, Marco
