Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: adjust setting of prefix for signed binary case
98a0ca
98a0ca
On RHEL-signed powerpc grub, we sign a grub with -p /grub2 and expect
98a0ca
that there's a boot partition.
98a0ca
98a0ca
Unfortunately grub_set_prefix_and_root tries to convert this to
98a0ca
($fwdevice)/grub2. This ends up being (ieee1275/disk)/grub2 and that
98a0ca
falls apart pretty quickly - there's no file-system on ieee1275/disk,
98a0ca
and it makes the search routine try things like
98a0ca
(ieee1275/disk,msdos2)(ieee1275/disk)/grub2 which also doesn't work.
98a0ca
98a0ca
Detect if we would be about to create (ieee1275/disk)/path and don't:
98a0ca
preserve a prefix of /path instead and hope the search later finds us.
