Hello,
it seems that Grub legacy never had ext4 support originally [0], however there exists some patches according to [1] and Trusted Grub [2] seems to have taken them.
I don't know whether the ext4 support of Trusted Grub is feature complete to boot a recent ext4 setup (ext4 patch in TrustedGrub ~2009, ext4 fs setup from 2012).
I would suggest to try to use a known to work fs for Legacy Grub like ext2 and others. If this works, you know that the ext4 boot support needs some adjustments to get it working again.
Your menu.lst looks good, so it just should boot.
Cheers,
Alex.

1 - menu.lst - I can either include it in-line or as an attachment (I hate to pound the mailing list with it) - I do not have a place to post it at the moment. 2 - yes to all.

The hypervisor (NOVA) loads OK, so it is being found. Legacy GRUB halts with the error when it starts to load the core. The menu.lst code is based on a template in Genode documentation. The specific section preceded by the primary Linux section is this: title Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, kernel 3.2.0-32-generic-pae uuid 2213d6b0-360e-450c-929a-b4ad2442322b kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-32-generic-pae root=UUID=2213d6b0-360e-450c-929a-b4ad2442322b ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-32-generic-pae checkfile /TG/check.file

Hello,
can you please put your grub menu.lst configurations somewhere and post a link, so we can have a look.
Do I understand it correctly, that you want to add a grub boot entry to an existing Linux installation ? That means that the Genode and Kernel binaries are located somewhere on a harddisk and not on a CDROM/ISO image anymore ?
If yes, are the kernel binary and the Genode binaries located on the same partition of the harddisk or they are on potential different partitions ? Do they have the same filesystem type ? Which filesystem you are using ?
Cheers,
Alex.

I am trying to run the Genode(12.08)/NOVA demo as a boot option under Legacy GRUB following the "official" Genode instructions. When GRUB executes the line "module <path>/core", it halts with Error 16 as in the subject line. Also if I use full paths, no symlinks. When I edit the Genode Demo entry as GRUB runs and delete everything below the "kernel hypervisor" line, NOVA loads, reports 2 cores, and halts because "no ELF". "file core" reports that core is a 32 bit ELF. I have successfully run the Genode demo on top of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and the Genode/NOVA demo on top of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. GRUB savedefault is false. I tried the patch to stage2/fsys_iso9660.c with no luck. I have used both an IBM ThinkCentre and an HP laptop (6530b) with both Legacy GRUB and Legacy GRUB with Trusted GRUB patches. "The Google" is out of suggestions. Thank you.
