Sorry about the delay, got interrupted last week with a notice from my real estate and had to reassess my finances. Anyway, it seems to work - using the patched kernel I can successfully read the block I was having trouble with without turning lba48always on. I am seeing freezes... first boot it froze during termrc, second was fine, third boot it froze as I tried to run kbmap... well, it didn't freeze - stats kept on running happily, letting me know about the >1000 syscalls per second (which I'm seeing consistently every boot) and faces kept on updating the time. I could move the mouse, but not interact with rio at all. ^T^Tp still worked, but I forget the rest of those debugging shortcuts and it was past my bedtime so I just left it running, but it was in the same state when I woke up this morning. Rebooted with ^T^Tr and it came up fine. I'm not sure if this is related to the patch or just some other incompatibility... still, it's progress compared to my last two install attempts, in which venti choked on the second boot with a whole lot of I/O errors. -sqweek PS. Any idea why your reply showed up here in an anonymous attachment instead of the email body, erik?
