[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] grub2: fix initrd size restriction bug

Shan Hai shan.hai at windriver.com
Wed Apr 29 08:53:09 UTC 2015


The current grub2 fails on loading large initrd file (> 500M) since
the initrd size is added to the addr_min and causes the failure.
Fix it by picking a patch from grub2 upstream.
