Experts,

We have purchased a new Sharp Actius RD-10 laptop
and are seeing the (infamous) 

error ldm_validate_partition_table() : read disk failed

bug during boot and at other times.  We've read

the bug reports at

https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=930

which seem to indicate that it's fixed.  It's not!
And the bug seems to break a lot of stuff in Mdk 9.1
on this machine.

We've tried installing the latest update kernel

  Jun  4 19:53 kernel-2.4.21.0.18mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm

but we get the same errrors.

We get the error at least 3 times during boot.  Once after the message
that says "Load module dependencies",one after "CUPS OK" We can't
remember the third instance.

It also happens while running, and seems to keep a number of other
things from running.

We think that either the SmartMedia/Secure Data slot, Compact Flash or
Sony memory stick hardware, or some combination is tickling the bug.

Any help will be appreciated.
