RE: Hurd restarts immediately after grub2

[Tony Olagbaiye]

Thus the command for booting Mach would be:

        multiboot /boot/gnumach.gz gnumach.gz root=device:?d?s?

And the attatched Hurd servers:

        module /hurd/ext2fs.static ext2fs.static --multiboot....$(task-resume)

        module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec exec $(exec-task=task-create)

Am I right? Because I also tried this, or a variation of this, and it yeilded the same results.

It does.  But at some point, there was a change in GRUB2's multiboot
code, and everything that previously read:

   multiboot /boot/foo
   module /boot/bar arg1 arg2

... would now have to read:

   multiboot /boot/foo foo
   multiboot /boot/bar bar arg1 arg2

Can you confirm that GRUB2 is able to boot your GNU/Hurd system an
equivalent change?
