This one compiles and boots just fine. I was also able to loop mount an
ext2 filesystem.
Thanks for all the effort!
BTW: Since I have your ear, this same version DOES seem to have some
other bug as well. I did a "make distclean" and the "rm -f" of all he
object files hung forever in "D" state. I'm using XFS on IDE disks.
I'm using the same config as was posted before. I didn't get anything
in an log files that would indicate a problem. Has this been reported?
If not, what can I do to make a meaningful report?
