That's a good point, the firmware can be a limiting factor and make it seem like a GRUB limitation. One example I've run into once is trying to boot from mdraid56 with many disks, it's possible for the BIOS to not enumerate as many disks as the minimum number for degraded use and thus can't be booted from. If some ancient BIOS doesn't support 48-bit LBA, then there could be a problem where the boot partition begins too. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
