Stock 2.4.2 kernel.  It (so far), hasn't happened again .. the drive led
is still screwed though.   It's weird, the other drives seem to seek at
odd times too (like when they aren't even mounted).

  Just trying 2.4.3-pre2 now. It appears to be working fine. I used the

 Okay, I was able to get home early and tried ac11.  Thought it was
working, until it got to about starting GPM mouse services, and rebooted.
Tried it again at run level s, and it got about 40% through fsck before
rebooting again.
  I attached my .config from ac11, which did not change from the ac12
compile.

What is the relationship between the version 3.21 in -ac12 and the
version 4.3 that was distributed on this list a week or two ago?

 I have not had problems with 2.4.2, just tried 2.4.2-ac12.  About the IDE
stage it just reboots.
 As for your iostat output, which version do you have?  The stock one with
RH7 needs to be upgraded to work with 2.4 kernels.  I'm using 3.3.5 now,
which seems to work.

I've had 2.4.2 running great for the past 10 days. Need any more info?

 heh... I had (probably still do), the same problem.  Took me a few boots
 before it would get passed the drives (this was right after upgrading to
 2.4.2).

 Other then the fact that as I look down at the drive activity light on the
 case, it's lit ... things from a IO standpoint seem to be ok .. (and I
 hope it stays that way) ...

 I have not had problems with 2.4.2, just tried 2.4.2-ac12.  About the IDE
stage it just reboots.
 As for your iostat output, which version do you have?  The stock one with
RH7 needs to be upgraded to work with 2.4 kernels.  I'm using 3.3.5 now,
which seems to work.

Does ac11 also reboot like that. -ac is currently testing versions of the new

 I won't be able to try ac11 until late tonight as that is my home PC that
has the VIA chips.  I'll let you know
 Also, these patches should be applied to 2.4.2, right? I'm using a 2.4.1
tree patched to 2.4.2, then applied ac12.

What is the relationship between the version 3.21 in -ac12 and the
version 4.3 that was distributed on this list a week or two ago?

 Okay, I was able to get home early and tried ac11.  Thought it was
working, until it got to about starting GPM mouse services, and rebooted.
Tried it again at run level s, and it got about 40% through fsck before
rebooting again.
  I attached my .config from ac11, which did not change from the ac12
compile.

 I'd love to hear anything you can come up with. What's the next step in
 your boot process, ie what's the part that normally shows up but doesn't
 with 2.4.2-ac12? Is this using IDE-SCSI, for example?

 One thing that both 2.4.3-pre3 and -ac12 do is to not have allocate a
 result buffer for TEST_UNIT_READY. I don't see why that should matter,
 but can you try un-doing the patch to "scsi_error.c" and see if that
 makes a difference. I'm worried about this report, and the buslogic
 corruption thing..

 Justin: there's another "2.4.3-pre2 corrupts all disks on a buslogic
 controller" report. The interesting part is that 2.4.3-pre2 doesn't
 actually contain any buslogic changes. The only generic-scsi changes
 were yours. Ideas?

  Just trying 2.4.3-pre2 now. It appears to be working fine. I used the

not be something common between them.  Hope this helps.

Stock 2.4.2 kernel.  It (so far), hasn't happened again .. the drive led

  I've had 2.4.2 running great for the past 10 days. Need any more info?

I'd love to hear anything you can come up with. What's the next step in
your boot process, ie what's the part that normally shows up but doesn't
with 2.4.2-ac12? Is this using IDE-SCSI, for example?

One thing that both 2.4.3-pre3 and -ac12 do is to not have allocate a
result buffer for TEST_UNIT_READY. I don't see why that should matter,
but can you try un-doing the patch to "scsi_error.c" and see if that
makes a difference. I'm worried about this report, and the buslogic
corruption thing.. 

Justin: there's another "2.4.3-pre2 corrupts all disks on a buslogic
controller" report. The interesting part is that 2.4.3-pre2 doesn't
actually contain any buslogic changes. The only generic-scsi changes
were yours. Ideas?
