Re: [openpsion] Trying out the 2.4.27 kernel

[<aj...@uk...>]

Reporting back on my CF disk errors=2E
It appears that the new kernel either accepts a CF disk or it does not=2E
I have tried to run fdisk from the initrd file and with the 2=2E4=2E27 ker=
nel I
get the message "cannot open hda" for both the CF disks I have a problem
with=2E But no errors with the 2=2E4=2E19 or 2=2E4=2E18 kernels=2E Similar=
ly fsck is
clean with the older kernels but with 2=2E4=2E27 I cannot even access the =
disk
to run it=2E I only have the one initrd file, does any one have any others=

they could email me=3F I could try to see if the tools in it are somehow
incompatible with the new kernel for some disks=2E
I am going to borrow a handful of CF disks from a friend, I'll see if any
of these show the same fault=2E Also a pcmcia CF disk adapter then I'll tr=
y
and look at the disks on my laptop running Vector linux=2E It could be I h=
ave
rewritten these disks so many times they are defunct=2E

best regards to all

User-space should not have much todo with those=2E This is
all in-kernel - maybe some subtile timing differencies in
the new kernel or other changes in the "IDE" subsystem=2E
