With grub.cfg Linux Kernel boot hangs

[Naresh Bhat]

Hi All,

I am able to boot my machine with linux kernel 2.6.32.28 from EFI
shell after following the instructions
http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnMacbook

Plug-in the USB stick on EFI firmware/Shell supported x86 32bit target
board. Edit the BIOS and change the boot priority to EFI shell. After
target is booted on EFI shell execute the below commands

Shell> fs1:
fs1:\> cd efi
fs1:\efi> cd grub
fs1:\efi\grub> grub.efi


grub> set debug=video
grub> insmod efi_gop
grub> boot

But when I created a grub.cfg file and try to boot, my machine will show

"video/efi_gop:357: GOP: Sucess"

and hangs......


Any idea what is wrong with grub.cfg file or with my USB disk partitions ?

My grub.cfg file contents are as below

============================================
set debug=video
insmod efi_gop

menuentry "Linux Kernel-2.6.32.28 (Single Image)" {
        linux (hd2,gpt2)/bzImage
}

menuentry "Linux-2.6.32.28 Kernel with custom ramdisk image" {
        linux (hd2,gpt2)/bzImage
        initrd (hd2,gpt2)/ramdisk.img
}
===============================================================================

My USB disk partitions are as below
