2.5.1 - Cannot mount Hpfs partitions, cdroms, shutdown

[Carl Scarfoglio]

I have ext2/, Fat16, Hpfs, Ntfs and reiserfs partitions on several
disks on a SuSE 6.3 system.
With kernel 2.5.1 I cannot mount Hpfs partitions, the
others work. See attached boot.msg.

At shutdown the system stops at the message: Sending TERM signal to 
applications (or something of the like), just before unmounting. Power 
off solves the problem.

I still can't mount data cdroms, as in pre8-pre11, but the system does 
not lock-up and require a power cycle. The mount fails nicely with the 
generic error message "Wrong fs type, device already mounted, etc..."

Back to 2.5.0
