RE: [bug #36532] boot in EFI mode (x86_64) fails on some systems

[Stuart_Hayes]

Vladimir,

On 27 May you had asked me to test a patch to see if it fixed the x86_64 EFI 
boot issue I was seeing 
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2012-05/msg00064.html).

This patch apparently moved the linux real mode allocation into 
grub_linux_boot().  It appeared that the relevant changes (the changes in 
grub-core/loader/i386/linux.c) in the patch you attached to that email were 
already in HEAD, at least by the time I got it.

So I will re-work my patch with the changes you requested on 26 May 
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2012-05/msg00063.html).

But I have a question, since I haven't been able to work on this for a while.  
Which version of grub would you like me to make my patch for?  You had 
originally asked for me to make it for 2.00~beta5.  Do you want me to make it 
to HEAD, which includes that patch you sent on 27 May, or do you still want it 
for 2.00~beta5 which does not include that patch?

Thanks!
Stuart
