Hi Adrian,

Thanks for testing!

Fascinating. I saw a similar issue when I only updated the kernel
(Makefile.core.def) and not the utils and fixed it with the change to
offsets.h.

Interestingly you're seeing the issue in reverse: the tools are
expecting the new offset but
/usr/local/lib/grub/powerpc-ieee1275/kernel.img is built with the old
offset.

Could you humour me and:
 - check that your kernel.img in /usr is indeed up to date
 - try grub-install ... -d ./grub-core?

Many thanks!

Kind regards,
Daniel
