Hi !

3 years and no patch from grub developers :-| ... I've got a Compaq D510 which I 
cannot boot with grub (freeze) because it has no keyboard controller 
(unfortunately, it will be the case for more and more computers).

I've suggested to the grub ML that the code from syslinux should be used in grub 
(and in the kernel they also used syslinux's gate a20 code).

Maybe we should provide an alternative grub package which contains the patch ?

Cheers,


   Ludo.
