If I say "dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null bs=1k count=102400", a 2.0.30 kernel locks
up almost every time. The disk light is lit continuously and there is no
response to the keyboard. This is on a machine with 16MB of RAM. There are no
mounted filesystems on the disk.

I have tried adding some printks to see if I could discover anything, but every
time I add something to the kernel, the initial memory configuration changes and
these new kernels will not fail.

If someone ahs any ideas, I'm willing to try them.

Thanks

John
