Using 2.5.19-pre10-ac2 or 2.4.19-rc1 the system does not hang any more during partition check, but I still can enforce kernel Oopses quite easily: I have large IDE disks (but <128Gb) on both primary/secondary and run /sbin/badblocks in parallel. On a quite new board with a 1Ghz-PIII I get an Oops/Kernel-Panic after about 5 seconds, reproducible.  In order to exclude any crap hardware, I tried this with three different boards and with a PDC20267 and some older PDC20262, too. But all combinations produced some errors, even if the slowest board (200Mhz) took about 1 hour to fail. Interestingly the system seems to be much more sensible to the Maxtor disk. Running two IBM disk (75G and 80G) on both channels, it took about 20 minutes vs. 5 seconds to fail. Tests with the on-board IDE controllers did not fail, so far. Sorry, I can't catch the Oops messages by now. Can some of the kernel gurus please try to reproduce this to find if it is still a bug?
