| |
Anybody have any reports of kernel versions > 85 having problems with the boot up sequence? My machine seems to go into never-never land during the partition check just before root is mounted. I get the partition check message:
Partition check: hda:
the sysem just hangs. The kernel seems to have a problem with the first bread() in msdos_partition(), it's going in but not returning. I've tried several different configs, but nothing seems to have worked. All recent kernels up to 1.3.85 have at least booted.
The last working kernel as well as all kernels 86 thru 89 were compiled with:
gcc 2.7.2 binutils 2.6.0.9 libc 5.2.18
