2.4.2 works fine. 2.4.5-pre5 won't get past fsck of /dev/md0 -- locks up towards the end. I'm running the same kernel on two other machine (different motherboards though) I'm using gcc-3.0 and glibc-2.2.3 /dev/md0 is a dual-IDE RAID1 (2nd drive is currently disabled) md0 : active raid1 hda1[0] 39082560 blocks [2/1] [U_] Under 2.4.2 boot fsck ends /dev/md0 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced. /dev/md0: x/x files (x% non-contiguous), x/x blocks But under 2.4.5-pre5 it doesn't get past the first "check forced" message. It just locks up completely after it runs for a couple of minutes. Motherboard is SuperMicro 370dl3 Disk WDC WD400BB-00AUA1 PCI Info: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Relience Computer CNB20HE (rev 05) 00:00.1 Host bridge: Relience Computer CNB20HE (rev 05) 00:0f.1 IDE interface: Relience Computer: Unknown device 0211 ________________________________________ Michael D.
