[linuxsh-dev] /bin/mount crashes on 2.4.0-test1...

[YAEGASHI T. <yae...@ma...>]

Dear developers,

I've made a small ramdisk image (2MB when gzip'ed) from gNiibe's
Chiyonofuji.  I think it can be used as a simple installer, like
a boot floppy of major Linux distribution.  At my site I'll
provide a new kernel binary along with it as the trial kit.

Yesterday, I had updated my kernel to the latest 2.4.0-test1
from CVS, and /bin/mount(in Chiyonofuji-2000-05-16) had gotten
not to work.  On 2.3.99-pre9 kernel it worked well and I could
mount ext2/vfat partitions of CF.  Have anyone ever had a
similar exprerience?

The kernel crashes and mostly resets when attempting to mount
any fs except proc.  It seems to destroy kernel memory
structure somewhere, but I cannot guess where it does...

BTW, I wish to put my HP600 specific codes into CVS.  May I post
a patch to SF's Patch Manager or linuxsh-dev list?

Regards,
