Re: [PATCH] Fix chainloding + Chainloading into logical partitions

[Jean-Pierre Flori]

As already mentioned in this mailing list (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2008-07/msg00192.html)n I can't chainload Syslinux from Grub2 on a disk with a pc partition table (Syslinux is installed on a primary partition).




I just get "Boot error" (from Syslinux i guess).
However it does work from Grub Legacy.
I also couldn't chainload Syslinux from Grub2 if the disk used a GPT partition table.
The
patch provided in the previous thread and adapted to current Debian
unstable Grub2 package (1.96+20090721-3, patch attached) fixes the
problem.
Have any decision been made to include that patch in a future release
(or a "better" one just providing enough information for Syslinux to
boot as it was mentioned that this one copies more than necessary) ?

Thanks.
