Tue 31 Jan 2006 10:46:44 AM UTC, original submission:
The Multiboot header defines a set of fields that can be used to tell the boot loader where to load a kernel image. These fields must be specified when loading an a.out image, in which case they are properly used by GRUB. However, when the image is an ELF file, these fields are optional and unfortunately GRUB does not honour them.

Hi!
Please can you check if this problem still applies to the multiboot loader in GRUB 2 (and if it does, update your patch)?
