Hi again,

I'm more interested in finding a solution to the problem, and
learning more about the checksums. Is there some way I can begin
investigating this issue myself? Unfortunately, I fear my aspirations
shall run away with me, but any insight/starting information to
fixing the problem would be welcome.
Take a look at lib/format/ataraid/asr.h for the layout of the
metadata. Hexedit it by hand and see if the rest of it appears to
make sense. If it is just the checksum that is wrong, then correct it.
I'll see what I can gather. Just for reference (in case it's been
missed) the checksum I receive (0xBAF vs. 0x805) and the checksum 'ml'
received (0xF36 vs. 0x805) are different. Presumably it's just the table
format, and not the contained metadata that is checksum'd?
I think I'm in way over my head understanding any of the asr.h or asr.c
files. My C/C++ knowledge is extremely limited, at best.
As far as a HEX editor goes on the disk; I'm at a lost as to where to
point it (see above.)
If there's any way in which you can describe the methods for pulling out
some debug data to submit, I'd be grateful.
Once again, thanks.
Tom
