Description Éric Fintzel 2023-01-24 14:26:28 UTC 
Description of problem:

When the current Rawhide images are validated on POWER LPARs, the following GRUB error is now raised at boot:

error: ../../grub-core/kern/misc.c:500:unrecognized number.

It seems a modification occurred during the second half of December 2022, because images were functional before.

Tested on POWER P9 and P10 LPARs with Server dvd and netinst images.


Actual results:

Current Fedora Rawhide images do not boot on POWER LPARs.


Expected results:

They should be bootable, as before.

Screenshot of the GRUB error.

As an attachment, a screenshot of the GRUB error.
The error occurs at boot time when entering GRUB, and shows no matter if you try to edit the boot line or not.
Comment 2 Éric Fintzel 2023-01-24 14:38:03 UTC 
Feel free to provide me a quick and dirty ISO images (i.e even not fully functional) just to validate GRUB works as expected. I can check such an images on our LPARs systems.

seems bugs #2092475 and #2091141 look very similar/same ...
Comment 4 Robbie Harwood 2023-02-02 23:03:13 UTC 
I believe this is resolved on current rawhide.  Please reopen if not the case.
