Subject: Re: crash with 2.6.22.1 crash:ll_rw_blk.c blk_remove_plug()

hello all,
on my asus notebook tm620 there is a crash with 2.6.22 and 2.6.21

....

I attached two files with the kernel bootmessage

1. bug.txt.gz
 kernel 2.6.22.1 created with netconsole, last lines were missing i added them by hand

2. out.txt.gz
  simple a dmesg from kernel 2.6.18, works fine


additional observations:
removing 'resume=/dev/hda1' from grub lets the crash disappear but the drive still does not work because
ata_id[772]: main: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/.tmp-3-0'

there is a bug in the hd detection code:
2.6.22.1
hda: 8032MB, CHS=1024/255/63
 hda: hda1 hda2 hda3
 hda: p2 exceeds device capacity
 hda: p3 exceeds device capacity

2.6.18
hda: 39070080 sectors (20003 MB), CHS=38760/16/63, UDMA(100)
hda: cache flushes supported
 hda: hda1 hda2 hda3

here the output from fdisk:

 fdisk -l

is it possible that this leads to a chain of events causing the crash in ll_rw_blk.c ?

if someone is interested in the .config please mail me directly, i have not subscribed the lkml.
