Known problem. I fixed this for Efika, but for some reason my fix didn't work
for PowerMac. Anyway, first of all I'd verify that if you revert to CVS
version before this commit:
2007-02-21 Hollis Blanchard <address@hidden>
(both of them, actually)
it works again.
I believe the kern/powerpc/ieee1275/init.c part of things doesn't need to be
touched again after:
2007-10-07 Robert Millan <address@hidden>
and that the problem affecting PowerMac was introduces with the rest of Hollis
commit (that would be grub-mkimage.c ?).
