First, the mystery was solved by the almighty command 'ls', turns out it's not exactly a patch: dolbeau@powermacg5:~$ ls -l /usr/sbin/ofpath* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24392 Apr 14 2019 /usr/sbin/ofpath lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jan 26 10:49 /usr/sbin/ofpathname -> /usr/sbin/ofpath -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 40016 Feb 10 2019 /usr/sbin/ofpathname-ibm No idea why that happened, unless I did some weird things trying to get 'grub' to work, and then promptly forgot about it...
I assume this was changed so whenever the GRUB configuration gets changed or updated (e.g. during package updates) GRUB uses a **working** device-to-OF-path-translator, because otherwise the next boot will fail, as the original `ofpathname` returns non-working OF paths. Cheers, Frank
