| |
Disk partition under linux-2.5.70-bk[56] systems with two IDE disks is broken. Under these kernels, the first disk gets the partitioning of the second disk. Reverting drivers/ide/ide.c to the 2.5.70-bk4 version makes the problem go away.
However, there were other changes made to ide.c that are probably not related to this problem, and I haven't yet analyzed the problem enough to suggest a potentially correct patch.
Note that I use user-level disk partition table parsing via partx from util-linux and run ide as a loadable module. It is possible that other configuations might not experience this problem.
