Hello,
it seems that recent kernel and/or unattended developments brought some
troubles regarding hard disk geometry detection. I have one machine that
works fine with unattended 4.6 (kernel 2.6.10), but brings up the
infamous "NTLDR not found" error with 4.7-cvs (kernel 2.6.15.6).
Newer hardware does not run with 4.6 anymore, due to missing kernel
modules, so I need to switch to 4.7.
I have tried to find the failure, by doing BIOS setting, manually
supplying the disk geometry etc., but I am unable to fix the problem. It
seems to have something to do with EDD and a patch in the kernel for
correcting geometry detection, but I am not quite sure.
Anyone has an idea on what to do? I have physical access to a machine
that experiences these problems, so if you need any details or debug
logs, please let me know.
Would love to see a bugfix in CVS and would like to contribute at my best.
Thanks
Florian
