I am in mac, grub called grub_util_get_fd_size() in unix/hostdisk.c, should i copy it to apple/hostdisk.c and fix the bug?

thanks
from Peter

Thanks for the information, i try to fix it.

Another funny thing:


in ./grub-core/kern/emu/hostdisk.c:


    disk->total_sectors = grub_util_get_fd_size (fd, map[drive].device,
                                                 &disk->log_sector_size);
    disk->total_sectors >>= disk->log_sector_size;

second line is overwrite the value of previous life :-)

Thanks, i am trying to fix this in code, but i am too new to grub coding. I
want to print out something in ./grub-core/kern/disk_common.c, so i do
"grub_util_info("peter\n");" and add "include <grub/util/misc.h>" on the top
of the file, but i get this error:

In file included from lib/../kern/disk_common.c:1:0,

                from lib/disk.c:31:

../include/grub/util/misc.h:22:20: fatal error: stdlib.h: No such file or

disk_common is unrelated to your problem. You need to look at host
device probing code under grub-core/osdep, code that maps host device
to grub device is historically located in various getroot.c files.


May I know the correct way to print out something please?


#ifdef GRUB_UTIL
 grub_util_info (...);
#endif



thanks

No, it is not the same message. Now it correctly detects disk2, but it
lacks MAC OS X specific code for BIOS device guessing.

grub-install expects device.map in /boot/grub; so put it there (i.e. on
filesystem on /dev/disk2s1).

Someone more familiar with OS X need to contribute device detection code
for it.
