The load I wrote was for PUPA. I just thrown it in the CVS checkout of GRUB 2 I have here. It appears to work fine. It loads linux and shows an error about passing init= to the kernel. That seems fine because I don't set up arguments and the incorrect root partition is used. So it seems the linux loader does not have the bug that it had before. I think I can better work on linux loading myself because it seems to work now (for unknown reasons, I guess because of some other bugfixes) and it is almost finished. I hope you don't mind and the other tasks were clear to you so you can focus on another part of the port. thanks, Marco
