Well, I've traced it down to between 2.3.48pre4 and 2.3.48:
2.3.44-pre8 : GOOD
2.3.47 : GOOD
2.3.48-pre1 : Can't mount hdb partitions
2.3.48-pre2 : Can't mount hdb partitions
2.3.48-pre3 : Doesn't boot
2.3.48-pre4 : GOOD (heavily tested)
2.3.48 : BAD
2.3.50 : BAD
2.3.51 : BAD
2.3.99-pre1 : BAD
2.3.99-pre2pre4 : BAD
2.3.99-pre2 : BAD
2.3.99-pre3pre3 : BAD
Looking at the 2.3.48pre4-2.3.48 diff, I see there are a huge amount of
changes (as usual). Some IDE changes, but there are quite a few other
places that I look like they could be causing this.
I made a copy of the 2.3.48pre4-2.3.48 diff available here:
ftp://blue.netnation.com/pub/linux/2.3.48/pre4-2.3.48
Anybody see what could be doing it?
- hdparm -u 1 vs hdparm -u 0 on all drives does not seem to make a
difference.
- hdparm -d 0 vs hdparm -d 1 on all drives tends to make the problem
happen even more often (guessing 5 times as often). Tested with
both -u 1 and -u 0.
