Flush issues in boot phase
Hi fellows,
I'm still trying to boot my dual AMD 1800XP machines (not MP). I got one more step disabling MP 1.4 support on BIOS setup, but now (using 2.4.19 kernel) I have a more general question. The boot phase stop exactly with the message:
Partition check:
hda :
Should I consider that the kernel stop exactly in this point or should I take in account any buffer problem,if yes shloud I put a flush in any point, maybe a after printk statments?
Thank you in advance,
Scorpion.

it stops exactly between this printk and the next (unreached) one.
See fs/partitions, probably read_dev_sector hangs so put printk's around that.

Does it works with one CPU taken out?
