Package: powerpc-utils
Version: 1.1.3-22
Severity: important
hi,
I have this OldWorld box, and it has a large nvramrc patch applied to
its firmware. Now this is so large that it makes the command barf:
nvsetenv boot-device "/pci/Apple53C875Card/s...@0:7,grubof.modules"
string value in variable 25 is too long (1729 bytes)
is what I get whenever I do a command of any sort, but I can directly
check the contents from /proc/device-tree/ entries, so it's not the
firmware, but the util that's got the problem.
Taking a wild, semi-uneducated guess, I'd say it was some sort of buffer
issue, and the app refusing to execute fully because it would overflow
otherwise, or something like that.
thanks,
simon
