Config.in

Due to linitations in Grub 2.06 large rootfs files fail to load due to an out of memory error.  This error nolonger occurs in Grub 2.12 due to the changes in memory allocation in version 2.12.  I have tested grub 2.12 on x86_64 via an external package, see attached files.  There is an issue I have not resolved in booting a system containing a particulal Ethernet card.  This has been raied upstream.

Dr I J Ormshaw, All,

We already have bumped grub2 to 2.12 in December 2023. Please check the git tree
for commit 5baf1ffe7ec9 (boot/grub2: bump to version 2.12).

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
