The error message mentioned here is actually a grub2 by the looks of it,
in particular the use of "hd0" to refer to a disk is not something the
kernel refer to. Adding grub2 as an affected package.
This looks to be one of the checks in grub disk or "pc" partitioning
handling:
static grub_err_t
grub_disk_adjust_range (grub_disk_t disk, grub_disk_addr_t *sector,
grub_off_t *offset, grub_size_t size)
{
[...]
return grub_error (GRUB_ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE,
N_("attempt to read or write outside of partition"));
I have had trouble with very very large disks in the past affecting some
installed kernels, this turned out to be due to them being placed very
high on the drive. How big is the disk on which /boot is placed?
** Summary changed:
- Boot to kernel higher then 3.13.0.29
+ Unable to boot to kernel higher then 3.13.0.29: attempt to read or write
outside of disk 'hd0'
** Also affects: grub2 (Ubuntu)
