This can't be right. Anyways, the most important question: what sort of
video card is it?
OS: Debian unstable and Ubuntu dapper installed.
1st problem: when creating grub.cfg, I accidentally leftout the ".img"
suffix from the initrd line. When grub whined about a file not found, I
tab-completed it, but the changes wouldn't take effect until I manually
corrected it in grub.cfg after booting with yaboot.
Marco, do you know if this would have been something broken recently
with the scripting changes?
2nd: after the tests were successful, I changed my OpenFirmware
configuration and switched to grubof.modules. After reboot, I got a
black screen. What happens is that grub does boot, but it shows black
on
black text, so you can't see anything. Pressing enter to boot your
default entry works as expected, and Linux boots.
Hmmm. It looks like we're using "call-method color!" to set colors.
BootX is using "call-method set-colors" instead, and ybin does the same
(but from Forth). I'm guessing the "color!" method doesn't exist in
your card's firmware, and we should move to "set-colors" instead.
Vincent, do you know how/if this will affect Sparc? If OpenBoot doesn't
have "set-colors", we can abstract it into an arch-specific function,
but it would be nice if it does.
