Description Arthur D. 2009-02-05 11:30:55 UTC

Hello.

I have the root filesystem on /dev/sda13 which is detected by memtest86+ ebuild as (hd0,0). It should be (hd0,12) instead.

Here's the changes, needed to be applied:
1)
root=$(echo "${res}" | grep -o '[a-z][0-9]' | tr -t a-z 0123456789)
  change to:
root=$(echo "${res}" | grep -o '[a-z][0-9]\+' | tr -t a-z 0123456789)
2)
root="(hd${root:0:1},$((${root:1:1}-1)))"
  change to:
root="(hd${root:0:1},$((${root:1:3}-1)))"
