hi,
  My hard disk is MBR partition type, there is FAT partition in my logical
partition, bootloader grub.efi is in this partition. When grub efi 
bootloader starts up, it cannot probe my hard disk. It is because that
parent device_path of current logical partition is extended partition, but
not my hard disk's device path.
   Here I wrote one patch to solve this problem, I discarded the device
whose type is not GRUB_EFI_MEDIA_DEVICE_PATH_TYPE, added devices whose type
is GRUB_EFI_MESSAGING_DEVICE_PATH_TYPE  as hard-disk or cdrom disk.
   Any suggestion is welcome:) I sent email to grub mailing list, but there
is no response, I do not know why.

thanks
bibo,mao

I don't remember precisely, but I think I only added disk devices but not 
partition devices. On your system, don't disk devices as well as partition 
devices get enumerated?

BTW, can you follow the GNU-style formatting rules? It is very difficult for 
me to read a different coding style.

Thanks,
Okuji

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think EFI does not have to add a
disk device node if there is only a single logical partition on the
disk.

Maybe you are right. I hope Mao will comment on this.

Hi,
  Sorry for late reply because of some other issues, here is my device mapping table, 
I describe it in tree format
        blk1    (floppy)
        blkA    (BlockDevice cd-rom)
        blkB    (BlockDevice  harddisk)
          |----- blk2     (primary partition)
          |----- blk3     (primary partition)
          |----- blk4     (primary partition)
          |----- blk5     (extended partition) 
                  |-------- blk6   (logical partition)
                  |-------- blk7   (logical partition)   
                  |-------- blk0   (logical partition)
                  |-------- blk8   (logical partition)
                  |-------- blk9   (logical partition)	 	 
my harddisk is MBR partition type, blk0 is my grub FAT partition.
EFI regards all partitions and disk node as block device, only that 
its type is different, parition block device's subtype is 
GRUB_EFI_MEDIA_DEVICE_PATH_TYPE, but disk nod is not, harddisk/cdrom
nod type is GRUB_EFI_MESSAGING_DEVICE_PATH_TYPE, floppy disk type is 
GRUB_EFI_ACPI_DEVICE_PATH_TYPE.

In order to find root disk, current method is to find harddisk type
device's parent device, parent device of block0 is blk5, so it will 
reagards blk5 as one block device. Actually it is only one extended partition.
My patch discards all partition device(GRUB_EFI_MEDIA_DEVICE_PATH_TYPE).

thanks
bibo,mao
