Gandalf -- the Chinese version of grub0.95 compiles fine under fedora core 3, but gets a seg - China DOS Union Forum

The Chinese version of grub loads the Chinese fonts somewhere in extended memory. It only works without errors when running real-mode GRUB.EXE, or GRLDR, or grub4lin. If you run the grub program under Linux (sometimes called the grub shell), of course it will fail.

This grub program under Linux is a simulated grub environment, not a real GRUB environment. The simulated memory space provided by this program is very small, for example only 3M. Accessing an unauthorized memory address directly in protected mode is illegal (even some conventional memory addresses cannot be accessed), so the Linux system will forcibly terminate the process and print the message "Segmentation fault".

A grub program compiled from grub for dos without Chinese support can run well under Linux.

Download the released archive from http://grub.linuxeden.com/ and run the compile inside it to compile it. There shouldn't be any problem.

The Chinese version of grub0.95 compiles fine under fedora core 3, but it gets a segmentation fault at runtime. I installed it with the following commands ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install Is it a problem with the Chinese version of grub0.95 itself? Or did I do the installation steps wrong?

Can you post the error message?

I went and installed it again. This time I used the default location: ./configuremake make install. Everything compiled normally, but when I ran /usr/local/sbin/grub, it only showed the three words "Segmentation fault", and nothing else.
