I'm not clear on this.
Were there changes to the actual hdparm code (and is that what is invoked by
using autotune as a LILO argument, I thought it was somethiong in LILO)?
Or are you saying only that autotune was added to the things done when
choosing hard drive optimisations?
I would suspect that there was some change made in the code that implements
the function of "autotune" as previous use of that command did not cause a
hang in the boot process.
Let me know what info you need from me.
