Hi,
When we open a partition grub_disk_open() sets disk->total_sectors to
the size of the disk, not the size of the partition. We also don't
check whether we grub_partition_probe() actually finds a

Yes, and even if you compile the tests with -nostdlib it will search

My experience is that while you can develop and test on such things,

It compiles fine here... are you sure your compiler can generate
32-bit code?
Jeroe
our compiler can't generate 32-bit programs. Test this first by
compiling a simple test program (e.g. "int main (){return 0;}") using
-m32. That probably doesn't result in a working executable either.
