(using Li's new address and quoting whole message for him) The change has been in linux-next for quite some time and I've been booting fedora 16 a lot of times on top of this. Weird. I'll try to find out what's wrong and if I can't spot it quick enough, will send a revert patch to Linus. We can try again later. Mandeep, any ideas? Thanks.
