[Bug 444562] Re: grub-pc lpia instantly reboots netbook

[lokað]

So, after looking at the code I found some things:
The message "GRUB loading." consists of four parts:
boot/i386/pc/boot.S:388
notification_string:	.asciz "GRUB "

(modifications A,B,C by me to see where it really gets to)
boot/i386/pc/diskboot.S:323
notification_string:	.asciz "loadingA"

notification_step:	.asciz ".B"
notification_done:	.asciz "CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC\r\n"

I found that the last message printed is notification_done (originally
only "\r\n") in the following piece of code:

LOCAL(bootit):
	/* print a newline */
	MSG(notification_done)
	popw	%dx	/* this makes sure %dl is our "boot" drive */
	ljmp	$0, $(GRUB_BOOT_MACHINE_KERNEL_ADDR + 0x200)

This is all the information I can provide. I have no idea what could be
wrong with this long jump under lpia that works under i386 and hope that
someone more capable will jump in.
