theres a patch that provides support for non-elf multiboot kernels and passes framebuffer information to the kernel if requested in the multiboot header. only rgb truecolor framebuffers are supported right now. if --reset-vga or --console-vga was specified, it assumes the framebuffer will be standard ega text mode. also pass acpi nvs and acpi reclaim ranges in the multiboot memory map as such; instead of just reserved. this allowing to kernel to locate acpi tables on uefi systems. i'm new on the list, so is there a prefered address to send patches like this to? -- cinap
