Subject: [ppc patch] fix Old World disk access
Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2004 22:54:19 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041015035419.GA7139@miracle> (raw)
This patch works around a bug in Old World Mac firmware. It allows "open" to
succeed but fails at least "seek" when disks are opened with a trailing ":0".
With the patch, we can get output like this:
grub> linux (scsi/sd,
Possible partitions are: Partition num:0, Filesystem type Unknown
Partition num:1, Filesystem type Unknown
Partition num:2, Filesystem type Unknown
Partition num:3, Filesystem type Unknown
Partition num:4, Filesystem type Unknown
Partition num:5, Filesystem type ext2
(The use of BAT mappings must be replaced before the kernel will boot, but
unfortunately that will have to wait for another day.)

* disk/powerpc/ieee1275/ofdisk.c (grub_ofdisk_open): Do not
append ":0" to devpath if the GRUB_IEEE1275_NO_PARTITION_0 flag is
set in grub_ieee1275_flags.
