Hello Felix,

I now reach to install grub for my debian unstable installation on my ibm p5 lpar (the unstable 1.97~beta3-1) but 
unfortunately failed to boot because failed to find a symbol (sorry I forget to take note of it).
I so jump to svn (release 2641 and today 2642); no luck always this same error:

_restgpr_31_x in boot is not defined

I so re-try to build the deb pkg 1.97~beta3-1; too bad again this same error???

Could it be so a gcc issue (debian build of 1.97~beta3-1 was with gcc-4.4 4.4.1-3; here I rebuild with gcc-4.4 4.4.1-6 and 
even most recent 4.4.2-1?)

I so try to come back to gcc 4.3 and this time it build fine (not yet tested if 
this one boot, sorry).

Any idea?

Tia,
        j.

ps: I also tried to test bean123 git branch (grab this Oct 19) but this failed to build early to compile normal/main.c (gcc 
didn't find some references to some grub_... struct and fnct)
