To be honest, I do not know what it is about.
If it's not there, PowerMac OpenFirmware would not load the grub image made by grub-mkimage. Instead, it will report "CLAIM failed". The modules use to be loaded at 3 Mb. Then they were moved directly after the core (kernel.elf), which created the problem. Search for the shortest gap that doesn't result in "CLAIM failed" indicated that it's 0x8000 (32k). I tried adding more code to kernel.elf, and the gap of 32k was still sufficient. I assume that if the result of grub-mkimage is a valid ELF file, like kernel.elf, "CLAIM failed" would not happen. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
