GRUB2 Reading floppy but not HD

[Steve Croom III]

Hello,

I am having a small problem with GRUB2 reading my HD.
Mr. Gerards ask me to post it here, what we were talking on IRC
Here is the info as to what I have and then what is going on:
12/29/04 CVS GRUB2 checkout..
P5-266 with a 2.5 HD, grub2 on floppy (fd0)   

I built GRUB2 with no errors and loaded it on an floppy w/ all the mod's
After booting off the floppy I get this screen and do the following
commands
And you can see what happens:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
                         GNU GRUB  version 1.90

 [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
   lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible
   device/file completions. ]

grub> insmod boot
grub> insmod linux
grub> insmod ls
grub> ls
(fd0) (hd0)
grub> ls /
grub/ vmlinuz initrd-2.4.23.img
grub> ls (fd0)/
grub/ vmlinuz initrd-2.4.23.img
grub>ls (hd0,0)/
alloc magic is broken at 0x97ff0
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
I put my vmlinuz and initrd on the floppy and I can load from the floppy
with no problems.
But I can not read off the HD... Grub leg has no problems doing this.
Here is the cmd line
/vmlinuz-2.4.23 ro root=LABEL=/ idebus=66

I added this small patch to boot.S so it would look the same as Leg grub
and still
Same results..

I see where the "alloc is broken." message is in mm.c and dealing with 
"get_header_from_pointer(void *ptr, grub_mm_header_t *p,
grub_mm_region_t *r)"
I am trying to look at this to see what is going on...??????????


Thank you
Steve
