SubjectBug: 2.6.11.8 msdos.c
DateThu, 5 May 2005 11:33:09 +0100
Using vanilla 2.6.11.8 I get a "Cannot open initial console" on boot,
2.6.11.7 was fine.  I have removed the patches to fs/partitions/msdos.c and
this has fixed my problem.  I've read the discussion on this patch but it
doesn't indicate that this problem may occur so there is no suggested
solution.  I have attached my .config and my partition layout is below, I
can provide any other information that might be useful.  I'm not on the list
so plase Cc, I will follow the thread in the archives too.
