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.
