This discussion is a continuation of the related one under the subject "boot parameter hda=remap63 and kernel 2.6.16.38".
First of all I have to correct my last posting. The result "fdisk -l /dev/hda" of 6.2.5 without "linux hda=remap63" shows /dev/hda1 as Device instead of the wrongly posted /dev/hda. Sorry for that. "mount -t vfat -o loop,offset=64512 /dev/hda /mnt" worked fine. Results are sent to you and additionally put to http://ferrugo.de/remap63 where I will put all the other results, too. Output of "fdisk -l /dev/hda" of 6.3 with "load=ide_generic" and without "hda=remap63": [begin] Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40060403712 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4870 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 1023 8217243 54 OnTrackDM6 [end] Output of lsmod of 6.3 with "load=ide_generic" and without "hda=remap63": [begin] Module Size Used by psmouse 40976 0 ext2 50308 1 isofs 36796 1 zlib_inflate 16256 1 isofs ide_cd 40992 1 cdrom 38048 1 ide_cd ide_disk 18432 0 ide_generic 2304 0 [permanent] ide_core 127684 3 ide_cd,ide_disk,ide_generic [end] Output of "fdisk -l /dev/hda" of 6.3 with "load=ide_generic" and "hda=remap63" is the same as without: [begin] Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40060403712 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4870 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 1023 8217243 54 OnTrackDM6 [end] Output of lsmod of 6.3 with "load=ide_generic" and "hda=remap63" is the same as without: [begin] Module Size Used by psmouse 40976 0 ext2 50308 1 isofs 36796 1 zlib_inflate 16256 1 isofs ide_cd 40992 1 cdrom 38048 1 ide_cd ide_disk 18432 0 ide_generic 2304 0 [permanent] ide_core 127684 3 ide_cd,ide_disk,ide_generic [end] There is some output while booting which might be interesting, too.
