bug or not?

[Tony Tang]

Dear dev,

I use the examples included in grub-0.93. I comment out the line #ifndef 
__ELF__ and the corresponding #endif in boot.S and change 
MULTIBOOT_HEADER_FLAGS to 0x00010003 in multiboot.h. I want grub to load 
image according to multiboot header, but grub dosen't do so, instead it 
loads the image according to ELF header. So I use objcopy to make a binary 
image of the executable file, hoping that grub can only load according to 
multiboot header, but grub says "Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable 
file".

I read the source code of grub. It seems that grub will only take ELF and 
a.out file(besides Linux image). But according to multiboot specification, 
grub should boot any file that has a multiboot header within first 4K.

So, I'm confused.
Any comment is appreciated!

BTW, I'm using Redhat.

Tony
