Hi. I haven't seen any discussions about the 2.4.21-pre1 and pre2 kernels kernel panicing when you execute /sbin/hdparm -d1 -c3 -m16 -k1 /dev/hdb /sbin/hdparm -d1 -c3 -m16 -k1 /dev/hda
(where /dev/hda contains both my boot and root partitions).
I ran this command in a startup script to improve disk performance. It would cause the kernel to panic on startup. I commented it out of the script, and the newly built kernels would startup and run OK, but when I went back and re-ran the script (with the now running system), it would crash the box. I installed a new version of hdparm (5.3) to make sure it wasn't an old version problem.
Thanks in advance, apologies if it's already been looked at, or if it's just me.
Bob
