Hi,
yesterday I installed a 2.0.26 kernel, libc 5.4.13 and gcc 2.7.2.1 and suddenly I encountered the following behaviour. My newsspool system that is a seperate partition formated with 2048 byte blocks started to cause kernel panics cause some shortage while reading a ext2 block were encountered. Sdaly I can't tell you the exact Kernel Panic text, cause my system halted and I just had no scrap paper available. I decided to downgrade to 2.0.25 which has been running quite stable, also downgraded to libc 5.3.12, but I still good this errors. I formated the partition once under both kernels, but still got these errors. Now I have formated it using 4096 byte blocks and everything seems to be ok again. BTW, I also encountered the following; I formated the hard disk with "mke2fs -b 2048 -c /devhda4" which succeded, checked it with "e2fsck -f /dev/hda4" and received the error messages I always got during all checks. Very confusing situation, and I just checked if my hard disk had an error, and nothing was found.
Well, I know that my bug report is not very expressive but I can only provide this hint. BTW, I am using a i486, EIDE PIO 4 drives and nothing else that can be considered fancy.
Bye, Oliver
