With recent kernels (2.1.125) I sometimes get the following sequence at
boot. I have tried to get at clear picture of what's going on, and what
triggers the kernel panic. I found that for this panic to happend (it seems
this way to me!), I must boot 2.1.125 as the first OS after I power on the
machine. If I boot 2.0.36 or Win95, the system is having no problems
finding my IDE channels. After that a reboot into 2.1.125 works like a
charm! ;-) Not that big a problem, cause when first 2.1.125 is up'n'running
theres no problem, but it puzzels me (and maybe others?). Anybody got any
clues? Is my hardware faulty, or is it a software problem?
