Hi,

It's because the grub 1.98 recipe is restricted to only x86.64 and the
grub 0.97 recipe to only i.86, so fishriver will only use .97 and won't
see 1.98.

There's now a grub 1.99 recipe in poky/master that does both, so I'd
recommend you upgrade to edison or master of both poky and meta-intel to
take advantage of it.
