Bug#703228: grub-legacy: Over 2 TiB disk support patch

[Hiroyuki YAMAMORI]

Package: grub-legacy
Version: 0.97-67
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

References: #299072, #381576, #402157, #407338

Hello,

I made patches that support over 2 TiB disk, GPT, ext4 and so on.
GPT and ext4 patches were brought from Ubuntu.
And minor problems fixed, include BUG#299072.
Note: stage1.5 or stage2 must reside within 2 TiB.

When you build:
Add four patches to "grub-0.97/debian/patches/" directory,
and edit "grub-0.97/debian/patches/series",
then add tail four patches file name as following order:

gpt.patch
ext4_support.patch
ext4_fix_variable_sized_inodes.patch
over_2tib_disk.patch

Execute package build command dpkg-buildpackage or debuild.

You, still using grub-legacy, Enjoy!

Thanks,
Hiroyuki YAMAMORI
