$ grep -rin "eeprom busy" .
./netboot/3c509.c:314:          printf("3c509: eeprom busy.\n"); /*

I don't know much about this grub feature. I would track where is
eeprom_rdy() called from (contains the error msg line) and see why that

Takes time, mine is as tight as yours. Ask the developers.

ruled out beforehand some of them might help someone else, too.
