[PATCH 0/2] Add new recipes for grub2

[Tom Zanussi]

This patchset adds a new recipe for grub2 and an accompanying
version of initramfs-live-install for use with it.

It's been boot-tested with the meta-intel BSPs crownbay-noemgd and
sugarbay, and the legacy version (grub-0.97) was tested with emenlow.

A future patch will factor out the common parts of init_install_2.0.sh
with init_install 1.0 - this initial patchset essentially just fixes
what's necessary for YOCTO bug #1428 in order to get things working again.

Wouldn't be better to drop 1.0 completely?

You're right, and the original did do that essentially - on second
thought it was much simpler - I'll resubmit something like that...

Thanks,

Tom

I prefer to have 1.0 dropped since it avoids duplicated maintainence
work and support. Besides, since this is gonna be a base of newer
Yocto we ought to ensure that the layers do get their bsp updated
(even thought I think the only user of it is meta-intel at this
moment).

Nice that you agree with it.

Well, my new version handles both grub 0.97 and grub2.  We need to keep
grub 0.97 around because grub2 is GPLv3.

Sure; fully agree on that but we can get rid of two different scripts
and avoid duplicated maintainence work :-)

Definitely - my new patch does that - I'll post it in a few minutes...
