This is not an error. (see other mail) install_device is only read from by firmware to locate the core. GRUB uses it only to infer root if $grub_device and $install_device refer to the same disk but $install_device isn't used otherwise by GRUB runtime.On Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 02:33:01PM -0500, Lennart Sorensen wrote:On Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 02:02:04PM -0500, Lennart Sorensen wrote:I am trying to build a powerpc build using the current bzr tree, and have hit a few problems so far. I am trying to use gcc-4.4, which seems to cause issues with -Werror. I think that is gcc's fault, and --disable-werror gets around that, so not a big deal. I am hitting bug #35452 of course caused by commit r3826, but even after fixing that, commit r38xx does the same thing to another set of files. I also hit that grub_arch_dl_get_tramp_got_size isn't defined. It appears it was cleaned up for powerpc as being unused recently, but dl.c still says that powerpc has it (along with ia64). Removing powerpc from: #if defined (__ia64__) || defined (__powerpc__) grub_arch_dl_get_tramp_got_size (e,&tramp,&got); seems to fix that. Should I file bug reports, or will someone just fix these?grub-probe prints 'raid' rather than 'diskfilter' for the modulename to use when raid is in use.grub-install also still (as reported about 2 years ago) tries to use $grub_device rather than $install_device when getting the partition table type.
Please detail symptoms if any. If none, this is a non-issue.
However, I did now manage to boot after fixing that. So there is a chance I can make a patch to fix grub-install soon so it actually works on IBM power systems. Given I have a production machine and a new machine around for a few days I can experiment until it is right.
