| 00:20.58 | WoC | ok [; |
| 00:26.45 | WoC | just finished building linux-4.19.5 |
| 00:28.17 | WoC | maybe some day i figure out how to make grub the primary boot loader, so i dont have to use yaboot to boot grub [; |

| 02:15.40 | *** topic/#debianppc is The Debian GNU/Linux PowerPC Port: http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/ | Debian CDs are not bootable on OldWorld PowerMacs |
| 03:01.44 | WoC | excellent reading; /usr/src/linux-4.19.5/Documentation/powerpc/cpu_families.txt |
| 03:02.02 | WoC | wish i read it earlier ;] |
| 04:14.28 | WoC | Anyone been able to install grub-1275 ? |
| 04:14.51 | WoC | psydroid[m] ? |
| 04:20.48 | pahartik_ | WoC: I have used it to boot NewWorld PowerMacintosh |
| 04:22.04 | WoC | how ? |
| 04:22.42 | WoC | right now, i have yaboot, booting grub, booting debian |
| 04:23.13 | WoC | i just cant figure out how to install it |
| 04:23.50 | pahartik_ | WoC: If it is used in boot, it is already installed |
| 04:23.53 | WoC | pmac-generation: NewWorld |
| 04:24.21 | WoC | you mean at the install ? |
| 04:24.27 | WoC | it failed |
| 04:24.35 | WoC | i had to use yaboot |
| 04:25.21 | WoC | hece yaboot -> grub -> debian. or ust yaboot ofc |
| 04:25.34 | WoC | s/ust/just/ |
| 04:26.02 | WoC | [; |
| 04:26.02 | pahartik_ | WoC: OpenFirmware has environment variable "boot-device" that points to "yaboot image" |
| 04:26.24 | WoC | yes? |
| 04:28.17 | pahartik_ | WoC: If you use "boot" command with path to "grub image", then it should start instead |
| 04:28.46 | WoC | didnt know of can read ext2fs ? |
| 04:29.08 | WoC | s/of/OpenFirmware/ |
| 04:30.12 | pahartik_ | WoC: It cannot, "yaboot image" is on HFS |
| 04:30.25 | WoC | yaboot yes, but not grub |
| 04:31.16 | WoC | seems like i just have to give up and keep using yaboot to boot grub |
| 04:31.33 | pahartik_ | WoC: Then you need to copy "grub image" to same boot partition where "yaboot image" is |
| 04:32.43 | WoC | I would still be at loss trying to figure out the openfirmware path to the file |
| 04:33.26 | pahartik_ | WoC: If there is no "grub image" with required modules embedded you need to create it with "grub-mkimage" (or something, I do not remember exact name of that tool) |
| 04:33.29 | WoC | with yaboot, all that is done for you |
| 04:33.42 | WoC | yup, did that |
| 04:34.03 | WoC | oddly enough it produces a 32 bit elf file |
| 04:34.55 | WoC | actually, i put all the modules in |
| 04:35.21 | WoC | my bootstrap partition is 64 MB |
| 04:35.27 | pahartik_ | WoC: And specify IEEE-1275 target? |
| 04:35.36 | WoC | yup |
| 04:36.24 | WoC | grub-mkimage -c grub.cfg -o ../grub -O powerpc-ieee1275 -d . *.mod |
| 04:37.07 | WoC | tried to follow; http://cynic.cc/blog/posts/running_grub2_on_powerpc_macs/ |
| 04:37.14 | pahartik_ | WoC: Well, "yaboot documentation" should be good enough reference for correct OpenFirmware path |
| 04:38.53 | WoC | when i use yaboot to boot grub, i do have one issue... the keyboard does not work in grub, usb-kb |
| 04:39.36 | WoC | and i get a error/warning saying out of memory ;P |
| 04:39.57 | WoC | and then it boots the default entry |
| 04:40.28 | pahartik_ | WoC: I never experienced such issue |
| 04:45.14 | WoC | it could be because i boot grub with yaboot, but... if it isn't... |
| 04:46.25 | WoC | anyhow, appreciated |
| 04:48.56 | pahartik_ | WoC: I never tried booting "grub" through "yaboot" either |
| 04:53.57 | WoC | rebuilding grub from source, maybe that helps |
