Hello,

As there were some bugs in the kernel which can cause filesystem corruption,
will you release a patch for 2.4.2? I have tried to modify the patch (0206)
and integrate it into version 2.4.2. Virtualy I succeded, but when I tried to
boot with the new kernel, the kernel crashed, somewhere in fs/partition/check.c
if (hd->de_arr)
	de = hd->de_arr[MINOR(dev) >> hd->minor_shift];
# I think this is the function:
i = devfs_generate_path (de, buf, sizeof buf);
if (i >= 0)
	printk(KERN_INFO " /dev/%s:", buf + i);
else
	printk(KERN_INFO " %s:", disk_name(hd, MINOR(dev), buf));

Thanks your reply in advance, Laszlo Boszormenyi
