It did not succeed in mounting the root filesystem, but instead wrote zeros over the superblock. hdb: task_out_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError } Will try 2.5.13 later. Andries [So, 2.5.8 causes very slow corruption, and can be used for several hours, sometimes days, before something bad happens. And bad things only happen to disks on HPT366. On the other hand, 2.5.10 and 2.5.12 fail directly at boot in precisely the same way and with a disk on the mb.] % grep _IDE .config | grep -v '#' CONFIG_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y CONFIG_IDEDISK_STROKE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
