Subject: multiboot1: never place modules in low memory.
X-Git-Tag: 2.02-beta3~303
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c856be6bca6f963a9a2c91eda954ab687bc7e573;p=thirdparty%2Fgrub.git

multiboot1: never place modules in low memory.

While in theory permitted by the spec, modules rarely fit in low memory
anyway and not every kernel is able to handle modules in low memory anyway.
At least VMWare is known not to be able to handle modules at arbitrary
locations.
