It appears to me that the wrong #define is being used to declare the
size of the EDD (BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive Services) area of the setup
parameter page. The following lines use 'EDDNR', but I believe they
meant to use 'EDDMAXNR': (src @ 2.5.59)
include/asm-i386/edd.h:line 168:
extern struct edd_info edd[EDDNR];
arch/i386/kernel/setup.c:line 477:
struct edd_info edd[EDDNR];
For reference:
include/asm-i386/edd.h:
#define EDDNR 0x1e9 /* addr of number of edd_info structs at EDDBUF
#define EDDMAXNR 6 /* number of edd_info structs starting at
EDDBUF */
EDDNR is the offset in the parameter page, not the number of entries.
EDDMAXNR seems to be the literal to use. I haven't tried this fix,
because I don't use it. Just noticed it while digging through the source.
