I believe you are running out of memory here because grub is trying to load all those frame buffer modules within your config.

And then it didn’t find one that worked.
For this, I believe you are having the same problem as Frans. Could you add the following to /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES=“iso9660"
and then regenerate your grub.cfg with grub-mkconfig.
Adrian,
I don’t plan on adding frame buffer support since newer systems don’t have them. Would it be possible to change your grub package to include a /etc/default/grub file for SPARC with the changes above? We do the same thing with our grub rpm.

If you still run into out of memory problems after regenerating your grub.cfg. Could you send me the following results from OBP?
{0} ok cd /memory
{0} ok .properties
