Bug#1028340: grub-ieee1275-bin: grub 2.06-7 faults on SPARC, 2.06-3 does not

Package: grub-ieee1275-bin
Version: 2.06-7
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: rincebrain at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

I decided enough was enough and finally went to migrate my Netra T1 from SILO to GRUB.

So I installed grub2 2.06-7, went through the motions, did grub-install --skip-fs-probe --force /dev/sdb1 (/boot - well, a copy of the contents of it mounted there for the moment, the actual one is /dev/sda1...), rebooted...

Executing last command: boot
Boot device: disk1  File and args:
GRUB Illegal Instruction
ok 

Cute. So after some tampering and blanking and redoing the disk, it still failed the same way.

I have another SPARC that's booting from GRUB fine, so I stole the disk image from it and tried booting from that, worked great.

Checked, that machine was using 2.06-3. So I grub-installed 2.06-7 again to confirm it broke the same way, grabbed 2.06-3 from snapshot.debian.org, installed it, and did the aforementioned grub-install dance...and it boots great.

- Rich
