After I have upgraded the=20 kernel from from 2.4.7 to 2.4.9 I have found that the new kernel can not scan the partition table of the disk - it freezes for a moment and than i continue but it can not find the root device after that. The situation with 2.4.10-pre14 and 2.4.9-ac14 is the same. I haven't tried kernel 2.4.8 but with 2.4.7 and previous=20 kernels it works fine. The partition table of the disk is: Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 621 cylinders Units =3D cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 39 78592+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 40 562 1054368 5 Extended /dev/hda3 563 621 118944 82 Linux swap /dev/hda5 40 354 635008+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 355 451 195520+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 452 562 223744+ 83 Linux the chipset of the ide controller is VIA82C59x. The disk is quantum fireball_tm1280a ata. Any ideas? If the partition table of the disk is not correct, how to fix it? Luben P.S. Please cc me, because I'm not in the list. --=20 _________________________________________________________ Luben Karavelov [phone] +359 2 9877088 Network Administrator [ICQ#] 34741625 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --HcAYCG3uE/tztfnV Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjutG8cACgkQ6e+ttke0ZA+OTwCgnSY4QrkdCzVskHmW65xcTOdN Ul8An3dFFLkP2C0D8JMs01Q9+LCbZS5c =n4It -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --HcAYCG3uE/tztfnV--
