SubjectOuch message and wrong IDE detection
DateMon, 2 Mar 1998 17:00:58 +0200
A few issues:

1.
Well, this is probably not a bug, still it puzzles me:
When I boot 1.2.89-pre3, I get the following message a few lines AFTER I 
see a kerneld reports it's version:
Ouch, no kerneld for message 2147418113

Then, I tried to increase the timeout in ipc/msg.c to 100 sec, and when I 
rebooted, I had a nice 1.5 minute wait while trying to mount root 
read/write. That reminds me that I couldn't make 1.2.88 boot at all, 
because it got stuck forever in the same place (mounting root fs 
read/write), AND it had the same "Ouch" message.

I use the following:

Kernel modules         2.1.85
Gnu C                  2.7.2.3
Binutils               linux-2.8.1.0.1
Linux C Library        5.4.33
Dynamic Linker (ld.so) 1.9.5
Linux C++ Library      27.2.8
Procps                 1.2.6
Mount                  2.7l
Net-tools              (1997-05-11)
Kbd                    0.94
Sh-utils               1.16

I don't have anything on /dev/hdb, but Linux insists on detecting somet  
hing there. I have a standard Intel Triton motherboard and use the 
on-board IDE.
Extract from the sys. log:

Feb 23 08:28:48 starlight kernel: PIIX: IDE controller on PCI bus 0 
function 57
Feb 23 08:28:48 starlight kernel: PCI->APIC IRQ transform: (B0,I7,P-1) ->

Feb 23 08:28:48 starlight kernel: hdb: INVALID GEOMETRY: 64 PHYSICAL 
HEADS?
This is my first bug-report, so please excuse me if I left something out 
or broke some etiquette rule...

Best regards,

Haim Gelfenbeyn.
