[syslinux] After USB boot problems on Gigabyte GA-M55Plus-S3G

[Thomas Schmitt]

Hi,

i read in
  http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Hardware_Compatibility#USB-Geometry
what we should have shown Ronald as first answer.
This text and the next section "USB-Miscellaneous" predicts
all the symptoms.

Besides the typo "examle" i find this statement still hard to
understand. 
 "An examle is a drive of 128,64,32 with a partition ending at
  127,63,32 (the last sector of the last whole cylinder)."

Should not 128,63,32 be the last sector at the end of the
last cylinder and the drive size be 129,0,1 ?
Or should the drive in this example rather have size 128,0,1 ?
(Assumed that H'=64 and S'=32.)

In any case one should state the H' and S' values with this example.
A good place to advertise 64,32 and 255,63.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
