Subject: rombios: add support for special CHS layout (spt=32)
Date: Fri, 07 Dec 2012 11:25:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <50C161AD.9020803@oracle.com> (raw)
When booting up windows VM which converted by dd scsi disk, it fails with
"Error Loading Operating System", root cause is rombios doesn't simulate disk's
logical CHS properly. Real bios uses spt=32 here.
