From 2c3ca07d2f691a463b715c83122c87f57c2a7b7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Borzenkov Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 03:07:07 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Fix EDD to properly ignore signature of non-existing drives Some BIOSes do not always set CF on error before return from int13. The patch adds additional check for status being zero (AH == 0).
