Keep in mind that loader is loading Xen, using multiboot2 which is kind of generic boot protocol, not Linux with its specific protocol. There may be other multiboot2 kernels that depend on modules being _not_ concatenated, such change would most likely break those.

If it turns out to be impossible to implement on the loader side we should consider doing it in Xen, but that's not my first option. Thanks, Roger. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
