- Is anyone else having a problem with extended partitions (not filesystems)
- after compiling their kernel with GCC 2.2.2d?
-
- I have a boot disk that works great, but after compiling a kernel with
- the new GCC, it doesn't seem to be able to read in and define the last logical
- partition in the extended partitions on both my SCSI drives. Here's what I
- get:
-
- Part 1 start 952352 size 339936 end 1292287
- Logical part 21 start 952353 size 20480 end 972832
- Logical part 22 start 972834 size 16384 end 989217
- Unable to read partition table of device 0817
-
- It then starts up and mounts everything but /usr, since that's what is in
- the third logical partition.
-
- I put printk's in and the message comes from extended_partition in genhd.c.
-
- This occurs no matter which kernel I compile, from 0.97 to 0.97pl2.
-
- I'm gonna start tracking it down, but if anyone else has seen this,
- please let me know!
