Openbios crashes 2

[Jason Hooper]

Hi all,

Obviously my last post was not clear enough. I have extracted and compiled 
the tar of the previous version in SVN, which is reported as directory 
revision 87. I can successfully boot the Debian install iso and the Solaris 
install iso starts booting but crashes later, as expected. However, if I 
extract and build the latest version, reported as directory revision 114, it 
crashes straight away. The exact error reported is "Floating point 
exception".  This is all on linux 2.6.9.

If I remove the latest patches to obio.c, and then try and boot, I then get 
"Unsupported image format".

If I remove the latest patches to esp.c, everything seems to be as it used 
to be.

Hope this is of some help.

Regards,

This is probably caused by the disabling the interpose, and that makes the 
disk label support act differently. I think the patches should be reverted 
until more correct fixes are developed.
