strange iso9660 bug

2008-09-28 Thread Robert Millan
Hi, I was having a look at this iso9660 image: http://syllable.info/Syllable-0.6.4-LiveCD-1.1.iso.bz2 and GRUB seems to behave strangely with it. When its contents are listed by Linux, GRUB Legacy or isoinfo, you get a long list (the "real" data), but when they're listed by GRUB 2, you get a

Bug-fix elf.c powerpc ieee1275

2008-09-28 Thread peter cros
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 grubtry/kern/elf.

[PATCH] iso uuid created vs modified

2008-09-28 Thread Robert Millan
Hi, It seems our ISO UUID code was checking for modified date rather than created date as the source suggests. I believe this is the right thing to do (since theoretically two different images could share creation date), so my patch just renames it (and adds the real field for creation date whil
