Hi,
I'm trying to get syslinux (extlinux actually) work with 4kb disks.
I got a bios with 4kb support but seems that extlinux does not work at
all. In extlinux/main.c SECTOR_SIZE and SECTOR_SHIFT are constants to
512 bytes and also there are a lot of checks in different places (like
in syslinux_check_bootsect).
Currently I'm trying it to work using GPT and an ext3 partition.
Anybody is working on similar issue or has some advice?
Is there a way to emulate 4kb bios using any virtual environment?
Regards
Frediano
