I haven't been able to get kernel 1.3.36 running on my system. It
always panics at startup:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
Partition check:
hda: hda1
hdb: [EZD] [528/32/63] hdb1 hdb2 < >
attempt to access beyond end of device
MINIX-fs: unable to read superblock

EXT2-fs: unable to read superblock

Transaction block size = 512
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:42
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(this has been typed in manually, there may be typ-o's)

This is my partition table:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disk /dev/hdb: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 1057 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes

Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 1 1 204 102784+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M
/dev/hdb2 205 205 1023 412776 83 Linux native
/dev/hdb3 1024 1024 1057 17136 82 Linux swap
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.2.13 ofcourse works, and I have run 1.3.35 successfully (for
a short time). Any suggestions?
