Comments/Problems:
A series of error messages are given during boot:
"end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector x"
for sectors 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14 followed by
" unable to read partition table"
just before messages from usb.c. Also after "VFS: Mounted root (cramfs
filesystem)" I get five lots of
"Unimplemented SPARC system call 188"
then "hda:attached ide-disk driver"
None of this seems to be a problem and everything works as expected.
HTH,
Cheers,
