Hi Rick, I am a bit disappointed about how this is ending, but I just realized you are using an addon Promise card as disk controller. This is not supported by ofpath, which just handle IDE controllers using the old ATA stack or true SCSI controllers. In short, it is hardwired for a list of disk controllers.
Your bug is a bit different from #572869, even if he's also using a SATA (so, new ATA stack) controller, but this is the Apple provided one, and yaboot has a special case for it (even if it seems not to work so well for now). I don't really know what to do about that. From what I read (#372186), ofpathname is better for recent controllers using the new ATA stack, and it's what grub2 is using. Still, it may lack proper handling of old controllers, even if we can see (again) people willing to bring that from ofpath, without much result. Furthermore, since 2.6.34, benh wrote a new driver (macio) for newworld Macs (I don't know if it supports /all/ machines) that is based on the new ATA stack, so ofpath will need to support it soon (well, it's for after squeeze at least), or we'll need to switch to ofpathname (or grub2 alltogether). Anyway, thanks for your perseverance, but try to be more specific on your problems next time ;-) Regards, benjamin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
