It seems to work okay here. Now, rewriting current boot system into C
may be good goal...
At least that is a way which does not involve modifying assembler
files. Slowly everybody switches to the C version which continue
to evolve (i.e. removing old BIOS calls), then the tree under
arch/i386/boot is removed and we can begin to rearrange the mapping
of "struct linux_param".
Will your C version work with lilo and grub?
Tricky question. In short no, it cannot.
[snip a long explaination of why this is practically impossible]
Sorry I cannot be compatible with them, please note that
Gujin is also GPL.
So you are saying: "Dump GRUB and lilo, use Gujin!" ??
I don't think anybody will agree with that even if it is a better way in some way.
Until some level of compatibility is guaranteed with the currently de facto loaders, at least I
cannot support this idea in any way. Discussing that with GRUB and lilo devs, might be an idea, but
who knows.
