Hi Peter Cros,

If you need anyone to run tests on the Xserve, I have a score of machines that we want to use on Linux...

Hi,
It will be good to get this resolved and on SVN grub2 so people
(ubuntuforums) can build for Apple efi with the latest 'hacks'
(fakebios, loadbios etc) found necessary in testing. Particlarly
Xserve which requires efi boot.

Hi,

I thought the previous mail is about replacing grub_printf with
grub_dprint, I'm ok with that. This patch has been in mail list for
sometime, it is essential to get a working display in intel macs.

Hi,

How about this patch ? The split is necessary as it introduces new
command loadbios and fakebios that uses the fake_bios_data function,
and it would be ugly to put them all inside linux.c.

Do you have any strong reason to make loadbios and fakebios separate? I
think
the overhead is negligible.

Hi,

loadbios and fakebios are sort of like hacks for the efi platform, I
think they shouldn't be placed in the linux loader. Also, by moving
the platform dependent code out, we can merge it with i386 generic
loader loader/i386/linux.c.
