Package: grub
Version: 0.97-28
Severity: normal
Hi,
When trying to install grub past 1TB, it fails with error 18 (18 :
Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS). This is because
the HDIO_GETGEO ioctl is limited to 65535 cylinders (i.e. ~1TB), and
for bigger values Linux just returns 65535. I'm not sure where the fix
should be done: should the kernel error out when the cylinders don't
fit, or should grub recognize 65535 as a bogus value and compute a fake
geometry by itself? Or both?
Note: there is another bug in bochs's bios which prevents from testing
with bochs or qemu the patch is available on the bochs list, I'll
probably file a bug against the bochs package too.
