Is anyone else seeing a problem using SCSI disks (ext2 format) that
was introduced between 2.4.19-rc1 and the tip revision?
Upon booting the 2.4.20-pre6 (tip of CVS), the root filesystem throws
an error about an "unaligned directory entry" and then cannot find
init.
2.4.19-rc1 with the _same_ hardware configuration works just fine.
Is it just me, or this this something general?

Okay... if nobody is going to report seeing a problem like this, can
someone confirm that using the CVS tip their SCSI disk works?

This sounds like a problem I had with cache flushing in pci.h which got
triggered
by a change in the ide dma driver. Is it a pci driver? If so you could
try the fix
I submitted a few days ago with ide-dma in the subject line.

Well, that makes things significantly better.... I can mount my
filesystem now, tho I still get errors like:
EXT2-fs error (device sd(8,2)): ext2_check_page: bad entry in
directory #894638: unaligned directory entry - offset=4068,
inode=544829025, rec_len=28261, name_len=116
But, it does boot. My serial console stopped (standard NS16550)
working, tho.... as did a custom NVRAM driver. Oddly enough, it's
only /dev/console that stopped working (actually, it no longer appears
on my filesystem?!?) -- the getty running on /dev/ttyS0 works just
fine.
Regardless, the DMA patch should definately go in. I'm still looking
into the other problems... we'll see what I come up with.
