Xen devel - Aug 2010 - [PATCH 1/1] Fix qemu could not boot windows vm which converted from phy-partition

Hi,

When booting up windows VM which converted by dd windows physical
partition,
it failed with "Error Loading Operating System", the partition build
on
scsi/raid controller. The root cause is qemu and hvmloader could not
calaulated C/H/S correctly, then ntloader could not found the root
partition.

This will need splitting into qemu and hvmloader separate patches, since the
qemu component belongs in the qemu-xen-unstable git repository. Please also
indicate which order the two patches should then be applied in (if it
matters). It would also be useful to know precisely what the fix does,
rather than merely what it fixes (although that is very useful in a
changeset comment too, of course).

 Thanks,
 Keir
