Hello

I've builded the current repository on powerpc and I obtain this error :

PowerPC support has been rotting for a while. Waiting for patches to
cure it :)

I've fixed it.  kern/time.c should be linked into kernel.elf.

I've made a fix for it as well, but it needs reviewing.

Actually, it was functional one month ago or so.  I even fixed all
compiler warnings.

SPARC support, on the other hand, is in a very poor state.

Hello Pavel,

Well I am totaly new here (grub2), because I am trying to boot a debian install on a virtual partion of a p510.
This use a yaboot which failed to boot my install and even thought I reported in deep details the issue, I surprisingly got 
any feedback? I so have to find another boot loader and as I am a bit familiar with previous grub on my i386, I am naturaly 
trying grub2.

That said,

Yes ;-)

(tbh, I am not a programmer, and very new to powerpc so I haven't any chance to fix this second issue)

Ok it compiles fine now ;-)

But how to install it now on a chrooted disk install (this is the only ugly way I find: boot from a cd and after the nic 
setup, I chroot the hard disk install ;<).

On my i386 with previous grub I just had to launch the 'grub' cdml, it seems to be a bit different here and this wiki 
<http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnPowerPC> also spoke more about Macintosh then IBM (btw it even spoke about grubof, was it 
well replaced by kernel.elf?); between all those changes it would be better that I re-start from scratch with basic grub2 
doc? Do you have a good link to me?

Thanks for all,
	J.

That's the best document we have so far.  Yes, it needs updating or
rewriting.
