Hello! I have tried the current GRUB on a PowerMac G4 running Fedora 8.If I follow the instructions at http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnPowerPC, I cannot load grubof.modules. If I do it directly from openfirmware, I get "CLAIM failed" message.
I tried adding grubof.modules to the OS selection menu in ofboot.b script installed by yaboot, so that grubof.modules is loaded like yaboot. That doesn't work either. In some cases, I would get the openfirmware prompt, in other cases, the menu would restart. It looks like the attempt to load grubof.modules makes openfirmware unstable.
I also tried loading kernel.elf created by the build process. It loads and shows the prompt. However, GRUB starts in the rescue mode, and I cannot do anything in that mode.
