Hi,

Perhaps you can dump the biosdisk information as well

#include <grub/machine/biosdisk.h>

...

struct grub_biosdisk_data *data = "" grub_biosdisk_data *) dev->disk->data

then print its members (drive, cylinders, heads, sectors, flags).
Also, please try copy the boot sector to a file and chainload it.

Hi,

 

I have dumped the biosdisk information also

 

data->drive=0x80

data->cylinders=0x3ff

data->heads=0xff

data->sectors=0x3f

data->flag=0x1

 

Chainloading from a file doesnt help either

 

dd if=/dev/hda1 of=chainload.txt bs=512 count=1

 

In the grub2 command:

 

set root=(hd0,1)

chainloader (hd0,4)/boot/chainload.txt

 

No effect :( same error
