Re: DVD Installer partition bug?
Sure,
The outputs below corresponds to the "working" condition after I fixed the size of the third partition.
The problem becomes apparent in the 'fdisk info' output. All 3 existing partitions are LBA (marked CHS=254,255,255). For
whatever reason, the program that created the third partition didn't care about making the number of sectors a multiple
of (sectors*heads), so that the new QNX partition starts at the beginning of a cylinder.
I'm not sure whether there's a requirement that a partition must start at the beginning of a cylinder (since CHS is not
real anyway), but if there is, not everyone is following that convention apparently (and it seems I'm not the only one
with one of those ill-sized partitions). In any case, your installer could do one of 3 things:
a) Write the CHS as 254,255,255 and use plain LBA (should've done this, since cylinder was >1023 (?) )
b) Write the CHS value that results from converting the start sector, and if it doesn't start at the beginning of a
cylinder, so be it
c) Abort the installation, but at least tell the user what the problem is :-)
Thanks for looking into this.
Regards,
Claudio
