I have taken your branch and compiled it. I am testing like this: sudo kvm -cdrom rootfs.iso9660 which works with upstream + the lscript patch However, on your branch, the grub menu does not show up, I am only getting the grub minimal prompt. For the moment I cannot figure out why. So that would mean that stage2 is OK but there is another extra issue. Thierry > > Thanks a lot! > > Thomas >
