I tried to compile the current grub on Fedora 9 for PowerPC, but it failed due to floating point usage in ls. Sorry, I don't have the exact message handy. Anyway, there are several references to "float" and "double" in the code, and I think it's wrong. GRUB should be able to work on systems with no floating point support and on systems where the floating point device needs to be activated. Even Linux kernel avoids using floating point. If everyone is fine, I'll try to remove all floating point stuff from the code. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
