Hello all,

i announce you the gfxboot COMBOOT module which is written in assembler.
Since i didn't find as much spare time as i have hoped last weekend it is
far from complete. Nevertheless the module is able to interact with the
bincode ([1] and [2]) in the bootlogo cpio archive from the openSUSE 10.2
mini cd. So far it is able to call the bincode gfxboot code and setup some
menu entries. Some callbacks (status, open and read) have already been
implemented but it is missing a config file parser, so the menu entries are
hard coded. This also applies to other parts like some values of the 
sysconfig structure.
