I cannot boot this version on my server. When doing the partition check,
it writes the following:
Partition check:
sda: sda1 sda2 sda4 < sda5 sda6 sda7 >
sdb:
and then oopses with a kernel NULL pointer (if the exact register dump
is important, I can reproduce it).
This is my hardware, taken from a 2.0.36 bootlog. It's a NCR53c810A on an
ASUS SP3G board. SDMS BIOS version 3.04 if that matters.
