Linux Boot Protocol

This page or section is a stub. You can help the wiki by accurately contributing to it.

Linux Boot Protocol is a convention used by the Bootloaders, such as GRUB, Limine or basically anything else, and the Linux kernel, similarly to other boot protocols, such as Multiboot. Apart from booting the Linux kernel, the protocol might also be of interest for other operating systems because of its ubiquitousness, especially for the embedded devices or less popular architectures (among OS developers); i.e. everything other than x86.
