I suspect it hits BIOS 2TB limit. If you have AHCI compatible controller, you could try command "nativedisk" which attempts to switch from BIOS to native AHCI.

Better try with git master. > I am doing > > grub> ls (hd1,1)/ > > etc. > _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
