Subject: Possible error in IDE code.....
Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2006 17:39:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <455DF3B0.9070102@dramail.com> (raw)
In adding IDE support to my application, the software was not able to
read the MBR properly. It would read one byte and the rest of the
buffer would be zeroes.
I tracked the problem to file - ide_disk.c, version 1.3, function -
ide_read_sector. One of the parameters passed in is len. It unclear
whether this is the buffer length or number of sectors to be read.
However, a value of 1 is passed in for the length and only one byte is read.
Correcting the problem is not a big deal but I would like to know
whether you meant for the length to be sector count or byte count.
Thanks for the great work you have done.
Sincerely,
Don Walton
