Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I just want to warn everybody about the 2.6.30 kernel |
| 4 |
(gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r2) |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
First, it seems to run fine on modern hardware with SATA drives |
| 7 |
(AMD64 in my case) |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
BUT, on two old machines with SMP and IDE drivers (different |
| 10 |
controllers) the kernel randomly hangs and what is worse, |
| 11 |
it has destroyed a filesystem in such a way that even fsck |
| 12 |
(from a rescue cd with an 2.6.29 kernel) hangs. |
| 13 |
I had to make a pristine filesystem on that partition. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
There are some reports on the kernel mailing list and the |
| 16 |
kernel bug tracker which talk about similar problems |
| 17 |
on some hardware. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
If some has more news (e.g. on how to fix that) |
| 20 |
I'd be very interested. |
| 21 |
Thanks, |
| 22 |
Helmut. |
