Hello! A quick follow up since several people seem to have not read the instructions carefully enough.
1) You have to use the version with the "+sparc64" suffix in the version number available from the "unreleased" repository. *This* is the correct version: root@deb4g:~# apt-cache policy grub2 grub2: Installed: (none) Candidate: 2.02~beta3-3+sparc64 Version table: 2.02~beta3-3+sparc64 500 500 http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased/main sparc64 Packages root@deb4g:~# The standard grub2 package from "unstable" does *not* include Eric's patches. 2) Please send any reports to *this* mailing list. Please do *not* send me any private mail. These issues are supposed to be discussed on the list and in public so others can see the discussion as well, including upstream developers. Thanks, Adrian -- .''`.
