The HFS filesystem module fails to read some files, in particular files with
an underscore in the filename. This makes GRUB2 unable to load _linux.mod
from an HFS filesystem, making it hard for PowerPC Mac users to migrate from
yaboot to GRUB2.
In the upstream mailing list sub-thread starting at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2009-01/msg00156.html I
explained the problem and how it can be fixed.
