parkes is squeeze, so we get this by default.

The sid version also builds OK on the Yeeloong, but doesn't install:

Unpacking grub-yeeloong (from grub-yeeloong_1.98-1_mipsel.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing grub-yeeloong_1.98-1_mipsel.deb (--install):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/grub/mips-yeeloong/ufs1.mod', which is also in package grub-common
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

This bug is in item group "All architectures". Should that be the case? I downloaded grub2 for i386 from sid and it built, installed and booted just fine. The only thing I had to change was the gcc requirement, from version 4.4 to 4.3.

grub 1.98 from debian sid rebuilds perfectly in a lenny pbuilder, but fails in a gNS metad chroot. something on our platform is badly broken.

the lenny built packages still fail to install, due to a file conflict. I've emailed the debian-pkg-grub team about this, perhaps they will give some useful advice.

other then that, it builds fine on mipsel and i386. i've not rebooted, yet, so hopefully grub will work.

currently we have a grub2 fork from upstream bzr. it would be great if we could simply use the source package from sid (perhaps with minor modifications) for gns.
