Actually, these are both regressions from 1.95 :-/ - LVM has at least one regression. I introduced it in: 2007-05-07 Robert Millan * util/i386/pc/grub-probe.c: Add `grub-probe -t partmap' parameter to determine partition map module. * util/i386/pc/grub-install.in: Use this feature to decide which partition module to load, instead of hardcoding pc and gpt. Sam Morris has been working on it. Not sure what the current status is. - powerpc-ieee1275 is broken on pegasos and (some?) powermacs, as of: 2007-02-21 Hollis Blanchard * kern/powerpc/ieee1275/init.c (HEAP_SIZE): Removed. (HEAP_LIMIT): New macro. (grub_claim_heap): Claim memory up to `heaplimit'. 2007-02-21 Hollis Blanchard * conf/powerpc-ieee1275.rmk (kernel_elf_LDFLAGS): Link at 64KB. * kern/powerpc/ieee1275/init.c (_end): Add declaration. (_start): Likewise. (grub_arch_modules_addr): Return address after `_end'. * util/powerpc/ieee1275/grub-mkimage.c: Include grub/misc.h. (load_modules): Use new parameter as `p_paddr' and `p_vaddr'. (add_segments): Calculate `_end' from phdr size and location. (ALIGN_UP): Moved to ... * include/grub/misc.h: here. * include/grub/powerpc/ieee1275/kernel.h (GRUB_IEEE1275_MOD_ALIGN): New macro. (GRUB_IEEE1275_MODULE_BASE): Removed. I gave a try at debugging this with Hollis' assisstance.
