I was wondering if I could ask you a favor: are you able to reproduce this boot-time crash that Thibaut reported? But be careful: > And, oh, if by "graceful failure" you mean: "it will blow up your raid > devices and kill your filesystems", then yes, the failure has been > very graceful for me, thankyouverymuch. I could have lived with a > little less gracefulness, though ;-/ I suspect that v3.0-rc1~375^2~7 (pata_cm64x: fix boot crash on parisc, 2011-04-24) fixes it. That commit was backported to the 2.6.32.y series in v2.6.32.42~11, and was included in the Debian kernel in 2.6.32-36, so perhaps reproducing the failure would require an older squeeze kernel than that. Reproducing the non-failure is fine, too, especially if you can do well enough at that to give Thibaut peace of mind if he should ever need to upgrade. Thanks for all your work.
