Hi,

What do you think if we can follow x86 Factory movement to try to
switch default bootloader to grub2?

grub2 is packaged

We need to hack:
perl-bootloader
yast2-bootloader
probably installation-images

It should work on pSeries machines and PowerMac.

Any volunteers?

Have fun,
Dinar

Do you really think it works on pSeries?
Last time I downloaded it (January?) it did not look having too much support in it.

I'd be happy to help, whereas my time is limited

But first I'd like to get a pSeries set up and booted through grub2 manually before start hacking on the environment.

nevertheless, changing perl-bootloader, yast2-bootloader might be left unchanged.
Just the "lilo" wrapper script needs changing.

Regards,
Jack.

I've seen quite a lot of positive feedback on it.

That's sounds as a plan.

It will make things even more complicated.

Ok, so I'll check the status of the sources from the openSUSE:Factory package
the next days.

It is already kind of broken for pmac and pseries with ext4 fs.
