[bug #29285] grub2 doesn't see logical partitions correctly on usb hdd

[dimas]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #29285 (project grub):

thanks for your answer!
>Your BIOS probably has 128GiB limit on USB HDD
yes, probably you're right. because i've made several experiments and... when
i made 20G sdb1 + 15G sdb2 - everything was right. 50+15 - ok. 100+15 - ok
too. 200+15 - got errors.
but now i've solved this problem and going to tell how. mb it will help
someone.
first of all, i've created my big 400G partition (sdb1) at the _end_ of disk
and formated to ntfs. in the rest of space in begging of disk i've made sdb2
extended partition. and inside of it i sometimes make or destroy logical
partitions. both grub1.97 and 1.98 see everything right. don't know why, but
it fixes the problem
this is how it looks now -

so now all is fine, thanks a lot for attention!
