[Bug 335174] Re: Machines with 16 drives not supported
It seems to work fine these days with grub2. Installed to /dev/sdq in a vm. The code Collin identified as problematic appears to have been removed. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335174 Title: Machines with 16 drives not supported To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/335174/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, I fixed this in SVN for IDE, Xen, Virtio and SCSI. The upper limit is 26 now. In the future, please don't hesitate to notify grub-de...@gnu.org about such issues. -- Machines with 16 drives not supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

sane_partition restricts to eight drives, apparently for some reason related to floppy support; see e.g.: http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-g...@gnu.org/msg00525.html Reopening. ** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released = Triaged -- Machines with 16 drives not supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug was fixed in the package grub - 0.97-29ubuntu51 --- grub (0.97-29ubuntu51) jaunty; urgency=low [ Colin Watson ] * more_scsi_disks.diff: Add support for up to 256 SCSI disk devices on Linux (LP: #335174). Due to BIOS disk numbering only at most 128 can be bootable, so ensure we don't crash if there are more.

The issue appears not to be fully addressed by the committed fix; an Ubuntu install still fails if the boot device is not within the first 7 disks: # chroot /target grub-install --no-floppy (hd24) Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. A strace seems to indicate that the dump command fails.
