Re: [BUG] 2.5.30 ide problems booting

[Ville Herva]

Trying to boot 2.5.30 with an ext2 fs on a cdrom is a no-go. As soon as the
rootfs (ext2 on /dev/hdc = cdrom) is accessed, the kernel hangs.

Below are a couple of alt-sysrq-p's ran through ksymoops:

I see a couple of ata_write's there - could trying to write to a ro media be
the culprit?

2.4.x is ok and 2.5.26 boots as well.
