Line 263:
{{quote|The primary requirement for GRUB is that it be compliant with the ''Multiboot Specification''.}}
 
But the Multiboot header as used by mostolder versions of GRUB 2 (includingfield is present in GRUB 1.98-299 and newer) doesdid ''not'' include the ''header_length'' field that is specified in the [http://nongnu.askapache.com/grub/phcoder/multiboot.pdf Multiboot 1.6 specification].
 
GRUB 2 also supports the old [https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/multiboot/multiboot.html Multiboot 0.6.96 specification]. It is possible to include both headers.
