Hi,
There is a bug in /kern/elf.c/ (target powerpc, platform ieee1275),
causing load linux to fail on my powerpc64 g5 and ibook g4 32bit.
Here is a diff of the fix I found necessary for rev 1878 (bug has existed in
previous versions).
It was a one liner -
diff -pu grubsvn/kern grubtry/kern/elf.
; load_hook (phdr, &load_addr))
return 1;
phdr->p_paddr= c000 load_addr= 140
/*load_addr = phdr->p_paddr; */
phdr->p_paddr= c000 load_addr= 140
Loading segment at 0x140 size 6ae0c8
- load kernel at 0x140 succeeds.

The change was between svn version 1421 and 1509 which had bugfixes,
in grub_elf32_load, and grub_elf64_load.

I find considerable advantage over grub-pc is separate installation, off the
linuix file system, and off the disk MBR sector, plus external drive
bootability. Requirement to disable accelerated graphics is a stopper for

Tested the patch applied to rev 1996 for grub.efi 64 bit and 32 bit, on
Imac81 (4GB ram), MacBookPro41 (4GB and 2GB ram) MacBook21 (i386)
with Macosx 10.4 10.5, ubuntu810.
All good.
64bit Macs have other ongoing EFI problems with linux kernel initializtion
and keyboard.

I have used a separate small hfs+ partition, works well, and fast if

The EFI FAT32 partition is OK and a good backup if using rEFIt to recognise

Here is grub.efi booting from usb msdos drive with hfsplus partition -
sh-3.2# diskutil
Don't know, rechecked it here and it sees all the usb partitions whichever
way its booted, maybe something wrong with your grub.efi build preloaded
modules. Check the latest svn.

Hi,

I don't think it is compatible with current MBR/GPT hybrid partitioning on
