Ralf the difference between Ubuntu and Fedora (grub2 vs grub[1]) is not something that I have to worry about. I am using a rtems-boot.img from Chris Johns that has the grub version 1.96 on it and can read the ext2 file system.<br>
<br>
This is what I have tried so far:<br>
<br> 1.- removed all hdd's except the vfat partition as hda(then as hdb) - same result<br> 2.-
booted from a linux image ( the qemu small image ),then copied
rtems-grub.cfg to the root of the filesystem. After that I booted again
from the rtems floppy, hoping it will find the rtems-grub.cfg there.
(no result)<br>
3. - booted with hda as the linux image( a valid image - rather our
fake zero-ed image) and hdb as the fat local directory. Still the same
delay.<br> 4.
- booted from the linux small image and mounted the hdb vfat partition.
All was good. Except ls listed the rtems-grub.cfg as rtems-gr.cfg.
Might this be the cause ?<br>
<br>Any other toughts? <br><br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Roxana <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 14, 2009 at 1:05 AM, Ralf Corsepius <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ralf.corsepius@rtems.org" target="_blank">ralf.corsepius@rtems.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I have been trying to set up a new development environment, because my<br>
previous one (I was working on a VM that had fedora 10 in it) was getting<br>
kind-of slow. I choose ubuntu just because I already had it as a dual boot<br>
on my PC.<br>
<br>
So here it is my problem:<br>
I am using<br>
- kernel: Linux 2.6.28-13-generic<br>
- qemu version: 0.10 or 0.9.1 (both of them create the same problem on<br>
ubuntu)<br>
- grub version: GNU GRUB version 1.96<br>
When running an rtems example (say hello - from pc386) i am seeing a 1-2<br>
minutes delay before the grub> prompt appears ( since I am seeing "Welcome<br>
to GRUB!" until i see the "GNU GRUB version 1.96" and the grub> prompt)<br>
<br>
Had anyone else encountered this problem before? Any solutions/suggestions?<br>

AFAICT, the major difference between Ubuntu and most other linux distros is Ubuntu using grub2 (c.f. above: grub-1.96) instead of grub[1]<br>
(e.g.: Fedora 11: grub-0.97).<br>
<br>
So, I am inclined to think you might either have tripped over a bug in grub2 or a grub/grub2 incompatibility.<br><font color="#888888">
