Syslinux memdisk is using initrd image and needs to know uncompressed size in advance. For gzip uncompressed size is at the end of compressed stream. Grub padded each input file to 4 bytes at the end, which means syslinux got wrong size. Linux initramfs loader apparently does not care about trailing alignment. So change code to align beginning of each file instead which atomatically gives us the correct size for single file. Reported-By: David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader. GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more robust, more powerful, and more portable. See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2. See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the GRUB 2 data and program files. Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information. The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>. More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual, accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2. Please look at the GRUB Wiki <http://grub.enbug.org> for testing procedures. There are a number of important user-visible differences from the first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy.
