Re: multiboot module in grub2 --with-platform=efi --target=i386 - TestingOnXserve

[Drew Rosen]

Thanks Bean. Totally appreciate your help with this.

I'm not familiar with the x86_64 support, and these notes were created  
6 months ago, but I thought they would be a good place to start...  
Don't hesitate to remove anything you think is misleading. I'm going  
to try to update it with better info as soon as possible.

Also, please be clear, we are not talking about Xserver. I'm trying to  
run 64 Bit Linux on an Apple MacIntel Xserve.

The systems I have are 2 x 2.66 Dual-Core Intel Xeon.

Thanks!
