It could be handy if you can make a small > image that produce similar results. I made a small openbsd image to send you, but it works perfectly with your g2ldr so there's no point in sending it :o) I think that problem is not worth your time or mine. I still have the bigger problem that my grub2 doesn't work like your g2ldr. My version still halts with 'broken magic' or reboots instantly when I type 'boot'. These are bugs that I was seeing several weeks ago and you already fixed them once, but now they are back again. I still think that a patch or two never got committed to cvs, but I don't know which one(s). Could you try applying your bsd.diff and bsd_2.diff to current cvs sources and see if it works for you? Here is what I do: Apply the two patches to a clean cvs tree. ./autogen.sh [because you patched an rmk file] mkdir build cd build ../configure && make rm ata.mod ./grub-mkimage -d . -o grub2 *.mod Then I use grub legacy to boot grub2 as the 'kernel'. Do you see any problems with the above? Does it work properly for you? Thanks, Bean!
