Change RMA size from 512 MB to 768 MB which will result in more memory at boot time for PowerPC. When vTPM, Secure Boot or FADump are enabled on PowerPC the 512 MB RMA memory is not sufficient for boot. With this 512 MB RMA, GRUB runs out of memory and fails to boot the machine. Sometimes even usage of CDROM requires more memory for installation and along with the options mentioned above exhausts the boot memory which results in boot failures. Increasing the RMA size will resolves multiple out of memory issues observed on PowerPC machines.

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader. GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more robust, more powerful, and more portable. See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2. See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the GRUB 2 data and program files. See the file MAINTAINERS for information about the GRUB maintainers, etc. If you found a security vulnerability in the GRUB please check the SECURITY file to get more information how to properly report this kind of bugs to the maintainers. Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information. The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>. More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual, accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2. There are a number of important user-visible differences from the first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy. For a summary, please see: info grub Introduction 'Changes from GRUB Legacy'
