Package: grub-ieee1275 Version: 2.02-2 Followup-For: Bug #610490 User: [email protected] Usertags: sparc sparc64
Hi Axel! grub2 upstream has received many fixes and enhancements from Oracle engineers for SPARC such that your issue has most likely been resolved already. However, since Debian currently doesn't have a sparc (32-bit) port anymore, you would have to reinstall your UltraSPARC 10 with the sparc64 port which can be found in [1]. The grub2 package for sparc64 is currently an unofficial build as not all necessary patches have been merged by upstream yet, but we are making good progress on that matter. A backported patch with all the SPARC-specific fixes can be found in [2], but so far, Debian's grub2 maintainers have unfortunately not included my patch yet :(. On top of the SPARC patches, we also need to build grub2 with TARGET_CCASFLAGS := -fno-PIE on sparc and sparc64 [3].
