SubjectRe: Kernels 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 crash while performing partition check
    From Thomas.Muders@Uni-Mainz.DE Sat Jan 30 11:55:43 1999

Partition check:
sda: General Protection Fault: 0000
CPU:0
EIP: 0010:[<c01232ce>]
c01232a4 T find_buffer

call trace:
[<c01232fd>]: c01232e8 T get_hash_table
[<c012355b>]: c012353c T getblk
[<c0123900>]: c01238e8 T bread
[<c0191646>]: c01915f0 t msdos_partition
[<c0191a3a>]: c01919c8 t check_partition

OK, this makes more sense. In check partition()
the text "Partition check:" and the device name "sda"
is printed, and it starts looking whether the disk has
a dos partition table. In msdos_partition() the first
thing is a bread() to get the first disk block.
In bread() the first thing is a call to getblk().
In getblk() we search a buffer that holds or can hold
the block, and start calling get_hash_table() which
calls find_buffer().
But the code there looks very correct to my eyes,
so unfortunately I have no idea what might be wrong.
