I attempted to upgrade from 2.4.18 to 2.4.19 today but one of machines repeatedly hangs at the "Partition check" on the IDE drives.
The machine is a Compaq Proliant 800 Pentium III SMP box with a Highpoint 370 IDE controller. I attempted several reboots with the check continually failing. Rebooting back to 2.4.18 removed the problem.
Searching the archive I note several other people have had this problem with 2.4.19-pre kernels but, as yet, there seems to be no resolution?
Thanks,
Steve.
