Re: Grub IA64

Hi, Diana.

First of all, the Multiboot specification doesn't (yet) support Itanium and 
that 
is definetely something that needs work before we can say that GRUB has full 
support for this architecture. What do you mean by network chainloading, how do 
you expect to boot loader to behave exactly?

Cheers,
Bogdan

Hi all,
 
We would be very interested in replacing elilo  (the current Itanium boot 
loader) with grub. 

 
Could you help us with answering a few questions  about this boot loader?
1.       Can you tell us if this type of architecture is supported or will be 
supported? 

2.       Is there a way in which we could contribute on making this happen?
3.       How does chainloading behave on network boot? Is this possible?
 
Thanks, 
Diana chinces
