Well.. if you want to apply it to a running system you need to extract the
pieces of the patches
related to different files and then apply them manually.
I did that:
Patch for /usr/bin/pygrub:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/patches/el5-pygrub-grub2-support-2010-05-27-pygrub.patch
Patch for /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/grub/GrubConf.py:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/patches/el5-pygrub-grub2-support-2010-05-27-grubconf.patch
Patch for /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/grub/LiloConf.py:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/patches/el5-pygrub-grub2-support-2010-05-27-liloconf.patch
Example to apply the pygrub patch:
cd /usr/bin
cp -a pygrub pygrub.orig.backup
patch -p4 < /path/to/el5-pygrub-grub2-support-2010-05-27-pygrub.patch
Similar method works for the other two files. Hopefully that helps.
