Hi all, I am using grub2 uhci.c usb driver for testing new hardware, on some occuisions the UHCI signature test fails (can be found on the PCI iteration routine), the driver thest if the controller founded by PCI has a signature as uhci should have (0x0c0300), on some of my new hardwares the signat

hybrid DOS/GPT and BIOS Boot Partition

2010-07-02 Thread Robert Millan
Hi, Sorry for breaking the thread, but I just stepped in because I participated in the standarisation of the BIOS Boot Partition mechanism, and in early discussions about this hybrid DOS/GPT protocol which led to the standard being discussed, and I want to clarify something. GRUB implements the B

mdadm 1.x device naming

2010-07-02 Thread Colin Watson
I've been looking at Felix's raid branch which adds support for mdadm metadata version 1.x, and trying to bring it up to date. The first thing I noticed was an issue with device naming. With mdadm metadata 0.9, md devices were just numbered. Easy. With mdadm metadata 1.x, devices can also be na

I observed a similar beahaviour as stephen in my side. Especially I had no dificulty at all to switch to a 1680x1050x32 graphic mode (following Piscium's advices) in the grub2 interface with what follows in grub.cfg insmod efi_gop insmod font loadfont (hd1,gpt4)/usr/sh

Hi Reynold, I've made some progress past you recently! I think there are bugs in the Linux Kernel now that must be overcome by the folks over at kernel development. Did you try the 'noefi' kernl boot flag? It allowed me to get past the hang and my system would actually boot. Also, I'm using th

Hi Stephen, The situation is a little bit better in my side too... I recompile the 2.6.34 kernel following the instructions in Documentation/x86/x86_64/uefi.txt, from the kernel linux package. Especially, I defined "CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y" int the .config file instead of "CONFIG_FRAMEBUF

Most likely the disk enumeration is different than what you have in the grub list. boot into a working system, plug your disk with the linux in, and then do sudo blkid get the UUID of your root filesystem, and then put it as root=UUID=00----0 instead of /dev/sda4.
