More thoughts about this issue. I think the problem is in the read_hook. If we're just reading, it make no difference whether it's from journal or real location, however, if the read_hook is not empty, we also need to pass the sector location to upper layer. Perhaps we can disable journal when the read hook is not null ? -- Bean _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
