In IEEE1275, partition 0 (as in "disk:0") means "the whole disk". However, CodeGen-based firmware (that means Genesi) have a bug where partition 0 is actually disk partition 1. In that case, to access the whole disk, GRUB must open "disk" instead of "disk:0". I have no idea how the initialization got lost; it should be initialized in the same place that the other flags are. Checking cvs history may be in order. -Hollis _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
