3.0T harddisk support?

Hi All,

Could coreboot can support 3.0T harddisk or GPT partition?

Best Regards,

what do you want to do? As far as I know coreboot just initializes the
hardware, so that is no coreboot issue. What payload do you use? SeaBIOS
or FILO? Something else?

Did you try it already and hit any errors?

Thanks,

Paul

coreboot itself doesn't care.

SeaBIOS fully supports the Int 13h LBA64 extensions and supports
LBA48 addressing on IDE (and probably AHCI too, but I've not tested
that).

GPT partitioning is irrelevant to the firmware if you don't have
a UEFI implementation.  On PC-BIOS, GPT support is implemented by
the bootloader code on the hard drive.
