My machine seems to go into never-never land during the
partition check just before root is mounted. I get the
partition check message:
Partition check:
hda:
the sysem just hangs. The kernel seems to have a problem
with the first bread() in msdos_partition(), it's going in
but not returning. I've tried several different configs, but
nothing seems to have worked. All recent kernels up to
1.3.85 have at least booted.
The last working kernel as well as all kernels 86 thru 89
were compiled with:
gcc 2.7.2
binutils 2.6.0.9
libc 5.2.18
