I recently upgraded to 2.5.68 (so that I could use the most recent ieee1394 drivers) and also to start experimenting with the new version of the kernel and since then I am having problems formatting the hard disk. When I run mke2fs, it manages to write out the first 12 or 13 blocks successfully, but then the code gets stuck continually calling blk_congestion_wait() from balance_dirty_pages(). This is the only time that I see this problem. If the disk is already formatted, then mounting/reading/writing to the disk happens without any problems at all. Is anyone out there aware of this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? For your information, I'm using the 2.95.3 toolchain and linux-2.5.68-rmk1-pxa1. Your time and knowledge is much appreciated.
