Hi,

As grub 2.0 was finally released with support for fuloong, I went for
traditional make + make install, since debian's experimental
grub-yeeloong is broken and doesn't install well (and the unstable one
still doesn't work with fuloong)...

I confirmed with  just "grub-install" the ELF image generated is good
for mini-pc.  So now that works.  However I couldn't make the keyboard
work on the grub menu, so I couldn't get to select the linux image to
load on the menu...  I even included the usb and the usb_keyboard grub
modules through GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES on /etc/default/grub.

Any hints?

Thanks,
