[bug #17882] grub accepts hd0 to hd7 only

[Daniel Rozsnyo]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #17882 (project grub):

Ariel, on which BIOS have you tested the patch? I was trying booting using
grub on the Asus0614/jmicron1.06.22 from the sata drive (should be in first 8
- so without patch), but no luck.

Then I've found on the JMicron site a note that only "JMB bios 1.06.53 or
above" supports grub. I was not using that, so I upgraded the P5B DLX's bios
to 1004 (which contains the jmicron bios v.1.06.59) -
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=P5B%20Deluxe


This solved the booting from SATA ports of the JMicron controller. Maybe it
will help for the others who use the PATA part of it and the 16-drive patch.
Please test that somebody, I have no PATA disk.
