[opensuse-ppc] grub2
Hi, What do you think if we can follow x86 Factory movement to try to switch default bootloader to grub2? grub2 is packaged We need to hack: perl-bootloader yast2-bootloader probably installation-images It should work on pSeries machines and PowerMac. Any volunteers? Have fun, Dinar -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org

Do you really think it works on pSeries? Last time I downloaded it (January?) it did not look having too much support in it. I'd be happy to help, whereas my time is limited But first I'd like to get a pSeries set up and booted through grub2 manually before start hacking on the environment. nevertheless, changing perl-bootloader, yast2-bootloader might be left unchanged. Just the "lilo" wrapper script needs changing.

That's sounds as a plan.

It will make things even more complicated.

Ok, so I'll check the status of the sources from the openSUSE:Factory package the next days.

?? Why do you think so ?? It is already kind of broken for pmac and pseries with ext4 fs.
