This error means

"PRP Offset Invalid: The Offset field for a PRP entry is invalid. This 
may occur when there is a PRP entry with a non-zero offset after the 
first entry or when the Offset field in any PRP entry is not dword 
aligned (i.e., bits 1:0 are not cleared to 00b)."


which points towards a misaligned PRP entry. The block size of this 
request is 105 sectors (52.5kb), so it must be a PRPL. I don't see any 
obvious code paths that would allow us to ever get into a misaligned 
request here.

That said, while trying to understand what is happening here I did 
stumble over a different weird effect: ns->prp1 gets overwritten with 0 
by some interrupt handler. Could you please try the patch / hack below 
and see if it fixes the problem for you? That way I at least know we're 
hunting the same ghost.

If it doesn't help, I'll send you a debug patch that will give us some 
more information about the PRP list SeaBIOS assembles.


Thanks,

Alex

The hack below does indeed work. Not sure if that's good or bad :)
