Subject: [PATCH] Fix infinite loop in grub_pit_wait()
Date: Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:32:42 +0200	[thread overview]

grub2 from current SVN hangs if run in VirtualPC, the problem was 
introduced with 'svn diff -r 1779:1780'.

Here is a proposed fix.

	* kern/i386/pit.c (TIMER2_SPEAKER): New define.
	(TIMER2_GATE): Likewise.
	(grub_pit_wait): Add enable/disable of the timer2 gate
	bit of port 0x61. This fixes a possible infinite loop.
