We should be working on making syslinux work for all cases then. Grub2 has more than warts, it's a total disaster. I have not found a single user that likes grub2 (outside of the grub2 developers themselves). The "oneshot" booting is totally broken, I could never get it to work consistently, thus I had to abandon it for ktest. Grub2 may be flexible, but it is overly complicated. It's horrible to do anything but the "default" settings. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
