In savedefault_func I used disk_read_func to print out sector, byteoffset,
length of the sector being read by the first rawread. Is this the correct
way and the values you needed?
<8176,0,512> is being read. (boot_drive, install_second_sector) = (128, 8176)
I installed grub using grub-install /dev/hdb, my device.map has the following
entries:
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/hdb
(hd1) /dev/hdc
(hd2) /dev/hdd
blocklist (hd0,0)/dev/stage2 output:
(hd0,0)<3468960,0,512><3468...>...,3469072+72
/dev/hdb1 is my root device, containing /boot/grub as well
grub-install's debug output is ok (stages are found etc.), root device is set
to (hd0,0), setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --prefix=/boot/grub (hd0) is run.
It embeds e2fs_stage1_5 in (hd0) (16 sectors) and install cmd succeeds after
that.
sector numbers for blocklist of stage2 are all in the 346xxxx range.
except from savedefault grubs works.
Please tell me wether some information is missing or if some values don't make
sense.
thanks,
torvald
