The load I wrote was for PUPA. I just thrown it in the CVS checkout
of GRUB 2 I have here. It appears to work fine. It loads linux and
shows an error about passing init= to the kernel.
That seems fine because I don't set up arguments and the incorrect
root partition is used. So it seems the linux loader does not have
the bug that it had before.
I think I can better work on linux loading myself because it seems to
work now (for unknown reasons, I guess because of some other bugfixes)
and it is almost finished. I hope you don't mind and the other tasks
were clear to you so you can focus on another part of the port.
thanks,
Marco
