That's a good indication the problem is with handling I/O instructions. I have an image that exhibits similar behavior (but on Windows chkdsk on boot) so I'll try debugging that. If that does not work I'll try to send you debug patches. -- Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
