Today I found time to test the updated Debian package in experimental. I used the just uploaded 1.99~rc1-1. I unfortunately have to report that it does _not_ suffice to get grub-ieee1275 to work -- neither on my UltraSparc 10 nor on the one of a friend. (IIRC he had already contact with Vladimir because of this, but the details weren't clear at that time.) While the bugs reported in here indeed seem to be fixed, grub now runs into just the next problem: It runs out of memory (even though my UltraSparc has 1 GB of RAM) and then causes (probably as follow-up error) an illegal instruction. But also Vladimir's manual grub installation in /usr/local has that problem if I use the grub.cfg generated from the Debian package. Only if I use the hinting feature (which is only in trunk IIRC), then it does not run into this out of memory and boots the system. I'll write a proper and separate bug report for the grub-ieee1275 package in experimental, soon, too. Just wanted to update this bug on my findings.
