Re: [proaudio] 2.6.17-r3 problems

hi Mark,

thanks, that was already very helpful, I saw now actually how different 
things are from .16 to .17 so luckily I ended up with a newer, different 
error which is now more complicated to show, since I don't reach a stage 
anymore, where I can grab a log or so.
Bascially, when reaching something like this stage here,

                  VFS: Disk quotas dquot_6.5.1
                  Dquot-cache hash table entries: 1024 (order 0, 4096 
bytes)
                                 ..........
                  VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
                   Time: tsc clocksource has been installed.

the newer kernel tells me something like it can't mount my root 
partition and that 'block(0,0)' is unknown. I double checked against my 
old config, changed the new one to the old settings and recompiled, but 
no joy. I appended the new config so maybe someone who might have a clue 
what this might be, can have a look.
normally, my root partition is mounted like this:
               /dev/hda5 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,user_xattr)
and I also checked again grub settings and the fstab file, but there was 
nothing strange, so must assume its something about the configuration, 
or the kernel again (since my old one boots fine with the same grub 
settings)
any idea about VFS?

thanks,

KArsten
