Hi, I am looking for a solution to boot MY system on any PC. To store most of the system and all of my data I want to use an USB storage (in my case an external USB harddisk (2.0 capable)).

From assemble machine level, it looks like push %eax push %ecx pop %edx pusha safh cltd das clc all of them are legal one-byte x86 machine instructions. Since those instructions have no chance to be executed, so it will not affect the original code. I thought the above machine code cannot be inserted by using...

Hi Andi, Four patches: - clean up asm/bugs.h, by moving all the C code into its own C file - split identify_cpu() into boot and secondary variants, so that boot-time setup functions can be marked __init - repost of the COMPAT_VDSO patches with a bit more robustness from unknown DT_tags, and functions marked __init, since all this is boot-time only setup. Thanks, J --

This set of patches add some support for sector size >512. Currently it fixes extlinux, MBR for GPT and ext partitions. Other code is unaffected. This set of patches has been tested on a read Dell machine running a beta firmware.
