I've an IBM PS/2 notebook (and old one : 386sx16, 80Mb ESDI HDD & 16MB RAM).
I run linux on it and, at boot time I get the message :
"Whaa. Error occurred..."
This is harmless but I don't like ... The related file is
linux/driver/block/ps2esdi.c
The driver check for a second drive on the adapter. As it is an integrated
adapter, it has _ONE_ disk attached no more !! This can be seen in the comment
inside the file. I suggest the following patch. Only one test at 2 places and
a new variable ...
