I am running 2.6.0-test2-mm1, and upon boot have received a gift of many "Buffer I/O error on device hde3" messages in my log. After they quit, they never seem to come back.

I'd just like to know what might cause this? I see fs/buffer.c is telling me this, but I don't know what is failing.

One thing of note, I just upgraded my CPU from an Athlon XP 1800+ to a 2400+, and had to disable IO-APIC, and shut APIC off in my BIOS.

(If I should include more info let me know)

It appears Mike Galbraith has seen something similar in -vanilla.

Does anyone have any interest at all in pursuing this? Hopefully? I'm glad to try and be the pig of Guinea. Kill piggy!

hmm, I had the same errors yesterday and the culprit was a "data=writeback" for a reiserfs partition. 2.6 don't know about data= for reiserfs.

Could it be your problem too?

Well, my fstab entry seems pretty default

/dev/hde3 /hdg/3 reiserfs defaults 1 2

Please just ignore them. They are noise arising from the new readahead behaviour in the block layer.
