Hi hpa,

thanks for providing a fix so fast.

This morning I checked the following Platforms:

these worked fine

HP DL360G2
HP DL360G3
HP DL360G5
Dell PE1950
IBM 8843 (known as HS20)
IBM 8853 (known as HS21)

These

HP DL360G4p
HP DL360G6

do not work. When starting them up with chain.c32 nothing, absolutly 
nothing appears on the screen/serial port. Even the recompiled chain.c32 
is silent.

So I started disk.c32 on them:

This ist the output from a DL360G4p
DISK 0x80:
   C/H/S: 255 heads, 1024 cylinders
          32 sectors/track, 1 drives
   EDD:   ebios=1, EDD version: 30
          255 heads, 8716 cylinders
          71122560 sectors, 512 bytes/sector, 32 sectors/track
          Host bus: PCIXRAID    , Interface type: RAID    

and this from a DL360G6
DISK 0x80:
   C/H/S: 255 heads, 1024 cylinders
          32 sectors/track, 1 drives
   EDD:   ebios=1, EDD version: 30
          255 heads, 35132 cylinders
          286677120 sectors, 512 bytes/sector, 32 sectors/track
          Host bus: PCIXRAID    , Interface type: RAID    

regards Thomas
