RE: [Bug-grub] --force-lba bug in grub 0.92 stage2

[Gregg C Levine]

Hello from Gregg C Levine
Excuse me? I'm lost. What in the name of Master Yoda, and the Force, is
a reverse patch? And why is it bad news, if it can cause this kind of
damage? Curiously enough the box, that I normally run Linux on, is
typically set to LBA, and I don't have any problems, when I use GRUB. I
apologize for using metaphors from Star Wars, here, but sometimes I fall
into that context, when discussing such technology.
