grub4dos-chenall - issue #30

(bd) not valid after drive mapping is hooked


Posted on Jun 25, 2011 by Happy Kangaroo

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. use map (hd1) (hd0), map (hd0) (hd1), map --hook 2. now ls (bd)/ lists wrong drive - actually hd1 and not boot drive 3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? (bd) should be boot device even after remapped

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Latest

Please provide any additional information below. if (bd) is (hd0,0) and then remap hdo to hd1, (bd) should now point to (hd1,0).

If this cannot be fixed then should be documented.

It seems to me that it would better not be fixed(and surely, this should be documented). Same situation with "root (...)/.../... , map (...) (...) , map --hook". Besides, if booted from (ud) of fbinst and mapping the (hd0) or (fd0) in which the (ud) resides, then the (ud) will not work. All such things can hardly reconcile. I tend to think it might be the user's affair. If something cannot reach to a great height of perfection but the programmer force himself/herself to gain that "perfect" result, he/she might mess something up and finally fail to achieve his/her original goal.
