Re: Successfully boot from a floppy on a GPT partitioned 2.18TB system

Like I said, I'm using GRUB2 to floppy boot a 2.1TB machine (the main barrier with large file system is 2TB) and t looks like it's working fine. However, I do have problems installing GRUB2 on the RAID system. I'll describe it in another post. Software RAID is not supported yet, if that is the question.

I thought that's how GPT partition works =) Well, I am not sure. :-) -- Marco ___ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel

Nice to hear! :-) GRUB v1.92 source code is downloaded and compile with yacc links to bison (otherwise the compilation will fail). This is fixed in CVS. It turns out that in regular PC partition table (parted msdos label) (hd0,0) becomes (hd0,1) if you have GPT table partition. Ehm, what do you mean? I don't understand. Thanks to all the GRUB developers for this great software!!! Finally we have a boot loader that supports GPT :-) Why did you need GPT? I implemented it mainly because it will be required when people switch to GPT and because someone required it. -- Marco ___ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel

Kudos to Marco. grub-install script seems to have an typo. It looks like in line 213 of util/i386/pc/grub-install.in, `--modules' should be '--modules' (the back tick should be just a single quotation mark). You are right. I've fixed it right now.

Re: Successfully boot from a floppy on a GPT partitioned 2.18TB system
Hi, Marco,The system needs to use GPT because any system that has more than 2TB will need GPT. Regular PC (msdos label in parted) partition table won't be able to handle that. And it looks like that Mac needs GPT too About the (hd0,0) to (hd0,1), it means that if you have (hd0,0) in regular PC partition table, it becomes (hd0,1) in GPT format. Not sure why, but that's how I boot it since I can't find anything under (hd0,0) once I switch to GPT. Anyway, thanks a lot for the hard work!!! =)PoeOn 1/24/06, Marco Gerards [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Poe Chen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Just want to report that I've successfully boot from floppy with GRUB 1.92on a GPT partitioned 2.18TB system.Cool!Nice to hear! :-) GRUB v1.92 source code is downloaded and compile with yacc links to bison (otherwise the compilation will fail).This is fixed in CVS.
