Red Hat recently experienced an issue which I narrowed down to using a grub core.elf image that was too big: the current limit is just under 2MB.
These are two patches that fix the issue and attempt to future proof the area. With these patches, the maximum size will be: - SLOF, or PFW with the PowerPC IEEE1275 note: just under 8MB - PFW without the PowerPC IEEE1275 note: a bit under 4MB As such, I recommend people building large grub images for Power systems (such as secure bootable images) build with the PowerPC IEEE1275 note from now on.
