Hi
I pulled in the source from CVS. It compiled, installed everything fine. But
after changing the OF boot device to grub I only got the following output:
Welcome to GRUB!_
- _
Decrementer exception at %SRR0: 00000000 %SRR1: 00083030
ok

After resetting the boot device to yaboot, yabout couldn't load the linux
image saying "CLAIM failed". After a reboot yaboot had no more problems.
After that I just pulled in your tarball and rebuilt Grub2 again. Same
behaviour as CVS.
My machine is a PowerBook PowerBook5,2, G4 1 GHz. Once GRUB is boot my
Powerbook I could offer you to test also my other machines:
- PowerMac G3 blue/white
- PowerBook G3 400 MHz
- iMac
And may be even on my main server a Pegasos I.
Best regards, keep going with your efforts!
