Hello List,

I am reproducing below, boot time error messages by  
kernel-2.6.11-1.1390_FC4 kernel with regard to my second hard disk.

	hdb: max request size: 1024KiB
	hdb: Host Protected Area detected.
	current capacity is 66055248 sectors 	(33820 MB)
	native  capacity is 78165360 sectors 	(40020 MB)
	hdb: task_no_data_intr: status=0x51 { 		DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
	hdb: task_no_data_intr: error=0x04 { 		DriveStatusError }
	ide: failed opcode was: 0xf9
	hdb: 66055248 sectors (33820 MB) w/		2048KiB Cache, CHS=16383/255/63,  
UDMA(33)
	hdb: cache flushes supported
	hdb: hdb1 hdb3 < hdb5 hdb6 hdb7 hdb8 >

I also reproduce the same context handled by kernel-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4

	hdb: max request size: 1024KiB
	hdb: Host Protected Area detected.
	current capacity is 66055248 sectors (33820 MB)
	native  capacity is 78165360 sectors (40020 MB)
	hdb: Host Protected Area disabled.
	hdb: 78165360 sectors (40020 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=16383/255/63,  
UDMA(33)
	hdb: cache flushes supported
  	hdb: hdb1 hdb3 < hdb5 hdb6 hdb7 hdb8 >
I first booted with 2.6.11-1.1390 kernel and then with 2.6.11-1.1226  
kernel.Obviously nothing wrong with hard disk. What's wrong with the  
kernel here ?

Thanks,

Parameshwara Bhat
