Oh well, that PowerMac G4 won't work at all anymore (looks like a hardware failure, there is no video output), so I'm trying it on PowerMAC G3 (Blue&White). I copied grub.cfg and kernel.elf to the root of the HFS boot partition hd:2. I entered openfirmware on startup by holding Alt-Mac-O-F. I used "dir hd:2,\" to check that kernel.elf is there. Then I loaded it with "boot hd:2,\kernel.elf". That's what I got: grub rescue> insmod normal error: unknown device grub rescue> normal unknown command `normal' Try `help' for usage grub rescue> lsmod Name Ref Count Dependencies grub rescue> set prefix=(ultra0,2) root=ultra0,2 grub rescue> ls (ide0/disk) DISK-LABEL: read of block0 failed (cd) DISK-LABEL: read of block0 failed (zip) (ide1/disk) (hd) (utltra0) My guess is kernel.elf doesn't include the necessary code. It's about 60k long. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
