Re: Checklist for boot-floppies release?
Hi all
Regarding the md problem of kernels freezing during bootup (i assume
this is the bug you refer to) its a known problem that some combinations
of UDMA66 controllers and drives can cause the kernel to freeze (it
happens with my hpt366 sometimes).
There is an option in the kernel to compile in a compare the hardware to
a list of known bad drives. This may be an option in the IDE patch im
not too sure.
Ive been away for a bit, i was trying to work on better raid support, so
you can install to a md partitions, ill checkit out where its at
currently and tonight and see what i can do.
