[gentoo-user] 2.6.9-r1 kernel bug?

[gentoo-user] 2.6.9-r1 kernel bug?

[Arctic Paintball Oy]

Couldnt find anything on this googling around. Am I missing something or
is this a bug?

How is it possible to try to read beyond the end of device on the loop
device? Or should i use dd? Is this a bug or are the files damaged. I cant
check the old contents any longer so md5sum is not an option.

To bad this packaging is totaly idiotic (i mean iso image of bin/cue
;-) ). I was trying to make it a little easier to use without double
packaging

dmesg output:
attempt to access beyond end of device
loop0: rw=0, want=790536, limit=790528
Buffer I/O error on device loop0, logical block 197633

umount temp/
mount image.iso temp/ -t iso9660 -o loop
cp temp/* .
cp: reading `temp/image.bin': Input/output error
cp: reading `temp/image.cue': Input/output error

TIA
Christian

Hmmm, I had some oddities with LILO too.  Similar stuff.  I noticed that 
just letting it time out and then load the default kernel always works. 
  However, on selecting it and pressing enter it has problems with the 
initrd.

Absolutely no clue what causes this.

This is my first post to this list.  So hello everyone :)

Ah, my memory doesnt serve too well, this machine has 2.6.8-r3 and that
had some issues with a lot of stuff... Going to upgrade and try again...

If this was a torrent download, you may not have a full file. Either 
way, it looks like your iso is corrupted.
