Package: dosfstools
Version: 2.11-5
Severity: serious
Tags: d-i
Booting d-i boot floppies fails now:
Booting from floppy...
Boot error
It appears to be failing to load its second stage ldlinux.sys file from the
image. (This is in qemu, FWIW.)
I downgraded to dosfstools 2.11-2.1 and rebuilt the same image, and syslinux
boots that one fine.
Simple recipe to reproduce the problem:
mkfs.msdos -C foo 1440
syslinux -s foo
qemu -fda foo -boot a
Hmm, disabling 14-bootcode.dpatch fixes this problem.
And the specific line that causes the bug is this one:
- bs.hidden = CT_LE_L(hidden_sectors);
+ bs.hidden = bs.secs_track;
I don't really understand this stuff, but this seems to be reserving one
track worth of hidden sectors even when the bootcode isn't being used,
and I guess that's either wrong, or screws up syslinux.
