"GRUB Loading kernel..." message

[Isaac Dupree]

I thought I remembered somewhere a discussion how the message
"GRUB Loading kernel"
is confusing, because it doesn't say what kernel it's loading, and grub 
loads lots of kernels (this message means that the "kernel" is a core 
part of GRUB, and the subject "GRUB" the message mentions is different: 
it's some early loading code.)  There is an argument that "kernel" does 
not mean the same thing as "Linux kernel", which is quite right: that's 
why the message is not at all incorrect, just highly ambiguous.  It 
seems like it should be
"Loading GRUB kernel"
.  Although, looking at the files, boot/i386/pc/boot.S outputs "GRUB " 
and boot/i386/pc/diskboot.S outputs "Loading kernel", so the parts 
actually mean different things: maybe it's important that it prints 
"GRUB " first in case it never prints anything else?  perhaps there are 
other possible code-paths?  In any case, then maybe it should say
"GRUB Loading GRUB kernel", or, "GRUB Loading itself" :-)
to preserve the usefulness and increase the clarity. (Albeit, someone 
who doesn't know how GRUB works might be confused by how it can be 
loading itself: it's actually one part of GRUB loading a bigger part of 
GRUB.  But we'll never be able to properly explain that to a 
nontechnical person :-)

(Am I missing something, since this is my first time looking at GRUB code?)
