%general-entities; ]> GRUB GRUB has an issue that can cause it to segfault when you try to configure a drive to utilize GRUB on x86_64 machines. The following patch fixes this problem: patch -Np1 -i ../&grub-use_mmap-patch; CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr make install mkdir -v /boot/grub cp -v /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-pc/stage{1,2} /boot/grub Replace x86_64-pc with whatever directory is appropriate for the hardware in use. The x86_64-pc directory contains a number of *stage1_5 files, different ones for different file systems. Review the files available and copy the appropriate ones to the /boot/grub directory. Most users will copy the e2fs_stage1_5 and/or reiserfs_stage1_5 files.
