Okay, here is something to try. Don't try this unless you haven't already tested 2.6.23-rc2, since there is a bug that was fixed in 2.6.23-rc2 that might be the cause of your problem (you can test that easily by specifying edd=skipmbr on the kernel command line.) Anyway, if that doesn't solve it: In main() in arch/i386/boot/main.c, please comment out everything from query_mca() to query_edd(), inclusively. -hpa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
