Ping?
I think it would be great to have multiboot support in grub. As a matter of fact without it grub cannot load xen on arm.

I've tested the code at git://git.linaro.org/people/fu.wei/grub.git#multiboot_xen_support_upstream_v4.0 which I believe is the same as this posting on an AMD Seattle system with a 40_custom containing: menuentry 'Baremetal' { insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='hd0,msdos2' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root d4178d5c-96a8-46ee-a304-0d87baa545cd linux /boot/vmlinuz console=ttyAMA0,115200n8 earlycon=pl011,0xe1010000 root=/dev/sda2 rootwait } menuentry 'Xen' { insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='hd0,msdos2' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root d4178d5c-96a8-46ee-a304-0d87baa545cd multiboot /boot/xen no-bootscrub console=dtuart conswitch=x dtuart=/smb/serial@e1010000 noreboot sync_console dom0_mem=256M dom0_max_vcpus=1 module /boot/vmlinuz-xen console=hvc0 earlycon=pl011,0xe1010000 root=/dev/sda2 rootwait } (my system is too confused for 10_linux or 20_linux_xen right now, but I believe this is representative of what they would emit) The result was that I could boot both Baremetal and Xen via grub. So: Tested-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> I've not looked at the code (although I did review several older iterations), would it be useful to the grub maintainers for me to do so?
