Kia ora from New Zealand! I run a couple of old Xserve G5s (RackMac3,1) and they have all failed to reboot following an "apt-get dist-upgrade", which I normally do every month. Installing grub-ieee1275 (2.12-7) seems to have been what did it, or maybe it was the kernel, I don't know. The machines drop to the OFW console with an "invalid memory access error" instead of booting. Manually booting such as with "boot hd:,\\grub" returns a "CLAIM failed" error. I'd be grateful for any troubleshooting tips. Has anyone else run into this issue? Should I try rebuilding grub and/or the kernel myself? An excerpt from the OFW console is attached. I even checked the space weather because for 3 machines to fail at once like this, it's either software or a solar flare :-) Thanks in advance -Stuart
