Bug#330583: Problem solved
Uff, I solved the problem, but what happened?
As some days ago the new linux-image-2.6.14 was availlable, I did a
fresh debian sid installation. Booting the system shows the same problem
as mentioned above too. Hmmm! I tried to boot from a KNOPPIX 4.0.2 Live
CD, it started up to the desktop, but showed the harddisk as not
mountable! What the hell ... Perhaps the harddisk has a failure? I
checked the mentioned drive with seagate seatools - all tests succeeded
except the filesystem-test which shows a damaged master boot record.
Strange! I tested the drive with the linux and windows tools not showing
me any errors. So I deleted the vfat partition with windows and then the
reboot with debian/sid 2.6.14 succeeded! Yippee! Now I wrote a new
DOS-FAT on the drive, partitioned and formatted and all is ok.
What changed between kernel 2.6.12 and kernel 2.6.13/14 so that the
error got evidently?
