Bug#567985: [linux-source-2.6.32] kerneloops on boot if LBDAF not used
Package: linux-source-2.6.32
Version: 2.6.32-5
Severity: important
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I get a kerneloops on 2.6.32 kernels unless CONFIG_LBDAF is yes. This is on a Lenovo W500 thinkpad that only has a 150G
hard drive so there shouldn't be any need for LBDAF. The kerneloops is very early in the boot process. I always build my
own kernels. I copied the 2.6.30 kernel config for my current kernel to the 2.6.32 source directory and did a make oldconfig.
The resulting 2.6.32 kernel gave the kerneloops. After a long process of narrowing down what was causing the problem.
I found that LBDAF had to be used for the kernel to boot.
