Thanks, I compiled. Now I have a module that loads, recognizes the array but
sees a negative number of cylinder:

This same problems (guessing...) is reported bu GRUB that reports:
   'Error 24: Attempt to access block outside partition'
as you can see below. What possible couse do you see?

Thanks In Advance.
