Subject: No scrolling for long input lines
Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2008 12:40:46 -0500 (CDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1720038063.77061223401246968.JavaMail.root@aczmb1> (raw)
(I said I would research this some more, but I haven't had a chance, and I won't get one for a couple days, so rather than wait, I am simply posting what I know.)
In GRUB 1.96, typing an input line longer than the screen is wide does not cause the screen to scroll. Effectively this means once I get to the bottom of the screen, anything I type that's longer than 80 characters (less prompt) I have to type blind. Aside from not being able to see what I type, everything behaves normally.
My GRUB configuration is plain vanilla. GRUB's on a FAT12 floppy read in using biosdisk, there's no grub.cfg file, and I directly type in insmod, ls, linux, initrd, boot, and all that jazz. I haven't made any modifications to the source, and I'm using the 1.96 release I found on alpha.gnu.org. I have the biosdisk and fat modules compiled into the GRUB image.
