Using grub on fuloong 6004

[David Kuehling]

Hi,

I've been unsuccessful so far with making grub work on my Fuloong 6004
box.  What I tried first wast the 'grub-yeeloong' package of debian
squeeze, building a grub.elf as described in the debian-yeeloong wiki
[1] (i.e. grub-mkimage --format=mipsel-yeeloong-elf ...)

The resulting grub.elf only shows a black screen when loaded from pmon,
and doesn't show any reactions.

Then I found some mailinglist threads that refer to
--format=mipsel-fuloong-elf (i.e. not "yeeloong").  Only the bzr trunk
seems to have support for that.  Tried this thursday's trunk version,
and built my image using

  sudo grub-mkimage  --config=/boot/grub.elf.conf \
     --output=/boot/grub3.elf --format=mipsel-fuloong-elf --verbose \
      ata part_msdos ext2 reboot halt lspci ohci usbtest usbms linux \
      fat xfs part_gpt multiboot2 minicmd configfile gcry_md5 hashsum

My /boot/grub.elf.conf reads

  set root=ata0,msdos1
  set prefix=($root)/grub

My /boot partition is /dev/sda (ext3).

however, this image now blanks the screen and shortly after reboots the
fuloong when loaded from the pmon menu.

Am I doing anything wrong?  Is Fuloong support known to be not (fully)
functional?

cheers,

David
