Description of problem: With all 2.6.19 kernels for FC6 the system wont boot. Just tested 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6 and the same result was seen. The system panics while booting . I can not produce logs as there is no serial port on the system. But when systems tries to resume from /dev/i2o/hda1 ( swap partition ) kernel reports I/O error on device i2o/hda. The system works ok with other kernels aka. 2.6.18 series and it is running latest 2.6.18 series ( 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 ) just now. It seems to me that the i2o driver is broken on 2.6.19 ! dmesg from the working 2.6.18 is as follows: I2O subsystem v1.325 i2o: max drivers = 8 i2o: Checking for PCI I2O controllers... ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0b.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 169 iop0: controller found (0000:00:0b.0) iop0: limit sectors per request to 128 iop0: PCI I2O controller at E4000000 size=1048576 iop0: Installed at IRQ 169 i2o: iop0: Activating I2O controller... i2o: iop0: This may take a few minutes if there are many devices input: PS/2 Logitech Mouse as /class/input/input1 iop0: HRT has 1 entries of 16 bytes each.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): all 2.6.19 update kernels for fc6 that I tested. How reproducible: boot the 2.6.19 kernel Steps to Reproduce: 1.reboot 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
