I'm wondering that myself. Will check.. Ah, right. The problem is not on i386-ieee1275 but on i386-linuxbios, which uses util/elf/grub-mkimage.c. So, we define GRUB_MOD_GAP for every port that wants to use ELF ? Or we put the fallback only in grub-mkimage.c ? I don't like either of the solutions very much :-( What do you suggest? -- Robert Millan I know my rights; I want my phone call! What use is a phone call… if you are unable to speak? (as seen on /.)
