Hi! I'm in the process of testing 9.1 on the laptop where I use grub2 because I had to put bsd in an `extended' slice, and I found out grub2 won't boot the 9.1 kernel. Asked on #grub where phcoder found the fix after I made him a test iso using grub-mkrescue: http://paste.debian.net/180121/ Applied that to grub 2.00 from here: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.00.tar.xz (built on a Linux debian slice with checkinstall), and that got the 9.1 kernel booting. So maybe the sysutils/grub2 maintainer (Cc'd) wants to update the port to 2.00 and add the patch in files/? :) (It's still at 1.98 currently where the patch doesn't apply.) The kfreebsd way to boot this affects is the same as in this earlier post: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2011-March/011828.html (i.e. this is not chainloading bsd's loader but grub loading the kernel and klds itself. I think this way to boot was originally added by the debian kfreebsd guys, hence the command kfreebsd...) HTH, JuergenReceived on Sat Jul 21 2012 - 16:59:19 UTC
