* Some disk devices, such as O2Micro PCI-E SD card readers, return ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER when attempting to use ReadFile() on a volume against a non 8-byte aligned buffer. * This patch ensures that the Syslinux buffers for sector patching are 16-byte aligned. * HUGE THANKS to 424778940z, for the numerous testing that allowed to troubleshoot this issue. * Closes #767 |
