Did you turn on debugging in kernel 2.6? My guess is, that you have problems with the kernel 2.6 and the ide controller either due to apic probs or just ide driver probs, which can cause this.
If debugging is turned on you might see some error messages, that could reveal what's wrong. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elton Algera" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2003 11:18 AM Subject: [gentoo-user] 2.6 Disk trouble > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > > Hi, > > I have another problem with 2.6, this time it's lilo ;-) > > Some time ago, I tried to install 2.6 along 2.4 on the same rootdisk. > > However, after two boots, my reiserfs root partition lost a whole series > of files, causing me to reinstall the entire system with 2.4 and ext3. > > Now I'm taking a second try (with ext3), but it seems that reiserfs was > not to blame for the previous problem.
