Miller" , Alan.Cox@linux.org cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: 2.2.19pre3 on sparc64: Hangs on boot, "no cont in shutdown!"?? X-Mailer: MH [Version 6.8.4] Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2000 14:09:09 -0300 From: Horst von Brand Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Red Hat 6.2 + updates (plus local hacks, like binutils-2.10.0.33) on sparc64 (Ultra 1). When booting, it detects the floppy drive (I left a floppy in by mistake, the floppy is OK, and the same boots fine with 2.2.18): [snip snap] Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M after this, it just gives the "no cont in shutdown!" message after a few seconds, and stays stuck AFAICS (not much patience, I'm afraid). This message is inside drivers/block/floppy.c:floppy_shutdown(), a file that hasn't changed from 2.2.18 to 2.2.19pre3. BTW, the floppy here (and also on sparc32) normally gives: $ mdir init: set default params Cannot initialize 'A:' the first time around, the second time it works OK. A too short timeout in mtools or in the kernel perhaps? -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand mailto:vonbrand@inf.utfsm.cl Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
