Hi,
There is a bug in /kern/elf.c/ (target powerpc, platform ieee1275),
causing load linux to fail on my powerpc64 g5 and ibook g4 32bit.
Here is a diff of the fix I found necessary for rev 1878 (bug has existed in
previous versions).
It was a one liner -
diff -pu grubsvn/kern
; */
phdr-p_paddr= c000 load_addr= 140
Loading segment at 0x140 size 6ae0c8
- load kernel at 0x140 succeeds.

The change was between svn version 1421 and 1509 which had bugfixes,
