> BTW, have you looked at the petitboot bootloader? For<BR>> the most part it is a better choice than kboot.<BR>> It provides essentially all the functionality that<BR>> kboot does, plus more, it is easier to build, and it<BR>> is a currently maintained project.<BR>> <BR>> The petitboot package can be built for x86. That is<BR>> how much of its development is done, but OpenWRT does<BR>> not yet support an x86 build of petitboot (that<BR>> would create a grub second stage image). My plan is<BR>> to add x86 PC support next. I don't think it is very<BR>> difficult to do, I just have not had time to do it.<BR><BR>
petitboot looks interesting; but I need the tool chain ready to go for x86.<BR>
Currently For our project, we are using a patched version of kboot which runs on x86.<BR>
<BR>
I do see some benefit for petitboot with the graphical menu. Ideally we'd need a version which reads each partition looking for multiple /boot kernels and present a method to select each one using a alpha char. Kinda like the old System Commander app.<BR>
<BR>
In my config; I'll have multiple linux kernels on the disk. I envision having Android, Moblin2.0, and several other flavors of linux in partitions and needing to boot to each at runtime.<BR> </body>
