Aha! I then tried this patch:
--- linux/fs/block_dev.c.orig Sun Nov 4 11:35:05 2001 +++ linux/fs/block_dev.c Sun Nov 4 12:21:51 2001 @@ -84,6 +84,15 @@ } oldsize = blksize_size[MAJOR(dev)][MINOR(dev)]; + + printk("Changing device %02x:%02x block size from %u to %u\n", + MAJOR(dev),MINOR(dev), + oldsize,size); + if (MAJOR(dev) == 0x03 && MINOR(dev) == 0x42){ + printk("...Refused.\n"); + return 0; + } + if (oldsize == size) return 0; ...And now my system boots fine with /dev/hdb2 swap in the fstab. In fact, I tried /dev/hdb1 after and then I couldn't read any more from /boot (which is /dev/hda1). So, some sort of wraparound is happening here. Why would blksize_size[3][2] be affected by blksize_size[3][0x42]?
