Ahhh, err don't think so.....
sector size has nothing to do with partition "type" I haven't studied the
code and am not really a C programmer (I have done mostly Assembly
language, but in the past and not X86) ... My interpretation was that it
should just be :-
> add_partition(hd, current_minor, this_sector+START_SECT(p)*sector_size,
> NR_SECTS(p), ptype(p));
That works for me, but there was another message on here saying "just set
it to 0" that may work also... I'd have to examine the code.
