Uff, I solved the problem, but what happened?

As some days ago the new linux-image-2.6.14 was availlable, I did a fresh debian sid installation. Booting the system shows the same problem as mentioned above too. Hmmm! I tried to boot from a KNOPPIX 4.0.2 Live CD, it started up to the desktop, but showed the harddisk as not mountable! What the hell ... Perhaps the harddisk has a failure? I checked the mentioned drive with seagate seatools - all tests succeeded except the filesystem-test which shows a damaged master boot record. Strange! I tested the drive with the linux and windows tools not showing me any errors. So I deleted the vfat partition with windows and then the reboot with debian/sid 2.6.14 succeeded! Yippee! Now I wrote a new DOS-FAT on the drive, partitioned and formatted and all is ok.

What changed between kernel 2.6.12 and kernel 2.6.13/14 so that the error got evidently?
