This bugreport is for GRUB legacy. While it's possible that GRUB2 has similar problem it has to be tested separately as code base differs a lot. So bugreport is invalid

This was implemented as part of last summer's GSoC. We expect to be able to merge it soon.

This is a reminder bug report, filed after discussion on the mailing list:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2004-04/msg00152.html

Priority is low. This is archived here for future discussion.

I have an older Packard Bell i586. Slackware 9.1 installation CD, using ISOLINUX 2.06, boots properly. However, GRUB, using stage2_eltorito, does not. See attached file for run comparison of CD on this machine and a newer machine.

See also the above mailing list URL for build instructions, mkisofs command, etc.
