Re: echo and hello bug

[Peter Cros]

May be of interest -

This is the module subset I am using with fat grub efi rev 2202 for 64/32bit efi on
Imac81, MacBookPro41, MacBook21. 

(  ./fatglue.py grub2202fat.efi grub2202-32.efi grub2202-64.efi )

I dont use hello, but echo works.

appleldr boot cat cmp chain configfile crc date echo ext2 fixvideo fat fs_uuid gpt gptsync halt help hexdump hfs  hfsplus iso9660 linux loopback loadbios lspci ls minicmd memrw ntfs pc pci reboot reiserfs read scsi sleep search sh video videotest xfs.

I have submitted a bug in to the bugzilla at

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?26744

in which hello just hangs.

I have tried a few tests around this to see if I can get any output via
hello from the command line (from menu pressing C) but I cannot. The problem
also occurs if I use echo. Any suggestions on how I might try to fix this (I
am happy to test it)?

The fact that both hello and echo seem to exhibit the same problem suggests
it is not the input as the former is set as a string in the code.
   

What is your build environment?
 

I build on Ubuntu 9.04 SMP x86_64 on the iMac 9,1

I tend to use a fat binary  using - the dev is towards a grub image to work on both 32 and 64 bit macs however I have tested just as 64 bit and it has the same error. As the bug report says I compile and build for efi platform. In OSX  the efi.tar.gz is unpacked to MacOSX root (hd0,1)/ and bless the (hd0,1)/efi/grub/grub.efi there.

Menus work. Appleloader works.

I have attached the script I use to build it.
