=================== BUG #505: LATEST MODIFICATIONS ==================
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=505&group_id=68
Changes by: Mark Meade <address@hidden>
Date: 2002-Oct-14 15:53 (GMT)
------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
Patch is based on Ilguiz Latypov's <address@hidden> 07-29 patch for DiskOnChip
support, with the following changes:
a) Added a patch from Karim Yaghmour (address@hidden) that provides a way to
bypass the DiskOnChip boot entirely, in case Grub is misconfigured or doesn't
behave as planned.
b) Added support for DiskOnChip devices formatted with newer versions (5.x) of
the M-Sys DFORMAT utility. The Grub firmware may now be burned using the
DFORMAT utility, possibly eliminating many problems that can occur when using
doc_loadbios under Linux.
c) Backed out requirement for automake 1.6 from previous DiskOnChip patch.
This patch needs automake 1.5 and autoconf 2.53, like the main GRUB tree.

Submitted by: ilgiz Project: GNU GRUB
Submitted on: 2002-May-30 18:24
Category: Booting Severity: Major
Priority: Later Bug Group: Feature Request
Resolution: Later Assigned to: okuji
Status: Open Release: 0.92
Reproducibility: None Planned Release:
Summary: add possibility to boot off the DiskOnChip flash device
Original Submission: This is a request to add a compile time configuration
option that
would allow to store GRUB bootloader on DiskOnChip flash memory
device and boot off it.
The DiskOnChip flash device is usually available to the system
via the 8 KiB I/O memory window (chip select mechanism?) and can
be detected by BIOS as an extension device.

After testing the GRUB DOC patch I must say that I disagree on the
fallback/last resort approach for searching for the menu. Personally I think
this part of the patch does more damage than benefit.
What is needed is a tool to set the menu location, not to have GRUB try to
guess where it should be.
Other than this having the DOC support in the standard GRUB tree would be great.

a) Apply Mark Meade's unification of DiskOnChip 2000 and
DiskOnChip Millennium code. Just as with stage2 or Linux
MTD DiskOnChip driver, the stage1 code will determine page
size by looking at the manufacturer and chip ID numbers.
b) Read chip ID into the stage2 RAM area.
c) Add floppy drive BIOS access as a last resort when looking
for /boot/grub/menu.lst.

We are waiting for the copyright being assigned to the FSF.
I'm going to apply the patch, once the copyright problem is
resolved.
