Grub for ARM u-boot

I'm curious if anyone has tried grub for ARM u-boot on a kirkwood box?

I have just gotten grub 2.02~beta2-17 to run on my PogoPlug v4. I had to rebuild bodhi's 2014.07 uboot with CONFIG_API enabled and had to rebuild the grub2 debian package to change the loadaddr to 0x02000000 - the uboot port still isn't a relocatable ELF like the efi-arm one is. I'll do a write up for this, hopefully it could be merged into bodhi's image. It's nice to be able to use grub.conf for configuring multiple boot options.

Hi Joey,

That would be very nice! looking forward to your writeup.

BTW, u-boot menu works really well for multiple boot, but it works only with serial console, because it uses ANSI terminal (netconsole is a different beast).

At the moment I'm having trouble getting stable reads of my rootfs within grub, rendering it useless beyond being a toy OS. It's on a DOS partitioned MMC with ext4. I'll try some other permutations of media/FS/geometry and maybe setting up gdb.
