Hello list!

I just bought a new Fujitsu 20GB Hard disk for my notebook
and after transfering my old system to this disk I tried to boot
the system.

When the kernel tries to detect the partitions, it simply stops
doing anything.

Then I tried to boot with 2.5.5{0,2}, which works fine.
The 2.4 kernel debian ships with woody runs fine, too.
I have this problem in 2.4.{19,20}, didn't tested any other.

What makes me wonder is that the partition check only fails in the
following constelation:

   - 2.4.19/20 vanilla kernel
   - Acer Travelmate 524 [with Ali IDE Chipset]
   - Fujitsu 20 GB hd
 
If I change the notebook it runs fine.
If I change the harddisks it works fine.
If I use 2.5 series kernels it works fine.

Does anyone know what I can do to trace down why this happens ?
Or if it's simply a wrong .config configuration ? [Don't think so..]

Greetings,

Nico
