This error has nothing to do with that. It even happens on i386-pc. grub-emu doestn't support modules, but the code dealing with this isn't totally disabled. I send another mail to upstream, but honourly I personally don't have much hope that this gets fixed. Hm maybe it would help to send also a mail to the Debian powerpc and sparc porter lists. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer and GNU GRUB developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
