Hello,

I am beginner in using Linux. I need to use experimental Kernel 2.1.12x,
because I have NTFS partitions and I need to write here, byt I have still
one problem with using this kernels. I try to describe my problem:

I have two HDDs:

Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 787 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes

Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 53 53 215 328608 83 Linux native
/dev/hda2 762 762 787 52416 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 * 1 1 52 104800+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M
/dev/hda4 216 216 761 1100736 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 216 216 507 588640+ 7 OS/2 HPFS
/dev/hda6 508 508 761 512032+ 7 OS/2 HPFS

Disk /dev/hdb: 128 heads, 63 sectors, 781 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 bytes

Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 1 1 237 955552+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hdb2 238 238 781 2193408 5 Extended
/dev/hdb5 238 238 591 1427296+ 7 OS/2 HPFS
/dev/hdb6 592 592 781 766048+ 7 OS/2 HPFS

First HDD is Western Digital AC21600H, 1549MB w/128kB Cache, the second
HDD is Seagate ST33232A, 3077MB w/128kB Cache.

When I am booting new experimental kernel since 2.1.126, kernel ever
crash, while partitions are detected or controled (I don't know, I say
You, I am beginner). Last kernel (2.1.129) goes through partitions, but
then crash too. There was error like 'Group descriptors...' , but I don't
know was does it means.

I have one idea, that here is problem with NTFS partitions. Really?
That's a question. I am working with this partitons with PowerQuest
PartitonMagic 3.02 and my Windows NT looks going correctly. And stable
kernel 2.0.36 is going correctly too.

Please, help me !!!
