The initial attempt to configure grub-2.00 (from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/ ) failed, either with --enable-grub-mkfont=no or with --enable-grub-mkfont=yes Finally, I managed to install grub-yeeloong-bin (grub-yeeloong_2.00-7_mipsel.deb, from debian/testing) on a Yeeloong with GnewSense/parkes (kernel 3.6.6-gnu), with following workaround. apt-get install grub-yeeloong grub-install /dev/sda1 --directory=/usr/lib/grub/mipsel-loongson/ The issue with the missing "--target" or "--directory" parameter is described in http://wiki.debian.org/DebianYeeloong/HowTo/Install and is caused by a bug described in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620420 So, after rebooting the Yeeloong, the grub screen displays as expected. _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list gNewSense-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
