Hi,
Has anyone here tested GRUB 2 on the MacBook(EFI) already? I have
been playing with it and here are some things I noticed:
Module loading did not work for me. At first I has an image with
boot.mod excluded. I loaded boot.mod manually (from an ext2
filesystem) and it crashed after I ran the `boot' command. The module
does work when I include it in the image. Is this a known problem? I
will look into this and fix it when I have some time again, although I
have no clue when that will be because I thought too often I would
have time while that turned out not to be true. So if someone else
wants to fix this, don't wait for me.
Another thing is Linux. This might be a bit off-topic, but it is
essential if I want to switch to GRUB 2 completely some day soon.
Okuji, you were able to load Linux properly, right?
I can't get the framebuffer to work. I am booting with
"video=imacfb:macbook", have imacfb and EFI boot support compiled in.
When booting the display is messed up. With some kernels+attempts I
see the mess scrolling by, but it does not come to a point where I see
something or can ssh into this box.
Thanks,
Marco
