It's not completely ready yet. The code was only tested on QEMu and supports UHCI, OHCI, USB Mass Storage and HID. Most likely it will not immediately work on real hardware. But please test and report if you want to be sure ;-) You can download a tarball of GRUB 2 with USB included or a patch here: http://mgerards.net/grub/ You can read more about this here: http://grub.enbug.org/USBSupport Stuff I will yet have to do: - Implement EHCI support - Cleanup - Improve error handling - Test on real hardware :-) - Make it possible to add and remove devices on the fly -- Marco
