Re: Warning: Int 0x13 function 8 ...



Hmm...I've noticed this error too in instances when its been time for e2fsck to
run during boot-up.  IIRC, it even predates my 2.4 series kernel use...i.e. I
think it occurred under 2.2.17.  LILO version related?--not sure of that either.

But what I can say is that I've never seemed to have the error create any
operational problems for me.

Yet, now that you mention it, I would be interested in the reason behind this
error.
