Subject: Boot failure with block/for-next
Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2010 11:27:03 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1293038823.3019.89.camel@mulgrave.site> (raw)
Trying to test out the SCSI post merge tree, I've found it won't boot on
my SCSI test system. The reason is a failure to read the partition
table of the root disc. It just gives
sda: unable to read partition table
The other four discs in the system seem to read their partition tables
OK.
The obvious candidate is the partition code rework in block/for-next.
Simply reverting
commit d2bf1b6723ed0eab378363649d15b7893bf14e91
Author: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Date: Wed Dec 8 20:57:36 2010 +0100
block: move register_disk() and del_gendisk() to block/genhd.c
Doesn't fix the boot failure, so it's obviously something deeper.
James
