Interesting, I wonder why stock 2.4.20 would report it differently than the new IDE stuff that is in our kernel, as that seems to be the problem. >=20 > Was the partitioning done with a kernel that had CONFIG_IDEDISK_STROKE > enabled? Haven't heard of that option, I'll check with the bug reporter. >=20 >=20 > Andries >=20 Thanks a lot for the reply, it has at least helped us much to narrow things down. --Brandon --GRPZ8SYKNexpdSJ7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+jM4/HCCPbR8BLcYRAtDmAJwM+Dlg2PlUym+GksY1iPVxJt1rygCeJG3z fegBVxIOG5mCE1m2tM+WLFw= =Pfgg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --GRPZ8SYKNexpdSJ7--
