| |
Hello, I have the following proble. After I have upgraded the kernel from from 2.4.7 to 2.4.9 I have found that the new kernel can not scan the partition table of the disk - it freezes for a moment and than i continue but it can not find the root device after that. The situation with 2.4.10-pre14 and 2.4.9-ac14 is the same. I haven't tried kernel 2.4.8 but with 2.4.7 and previous kernels it works fine.
The partition table of the disk is: Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 621 cylinders Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 39 78592+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 40 562 1054368 5 Extended /dev/hda3 563 621 118944 82 Linux swap /dev/hda5 40 354 635008+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 355 451 195520+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 452 562 223744+ 83 Linux
the chipset of the ide controller is VIA82C59x. The disk is quantum fireball_tm1280a ata.
Any ideas? If the partition table of the disk is not correct, how to fix it?
Luben
P.S. Please cc me, because I'm not in the list.
