The link order in the kernel (atari before msdos) has not been chosen at random. The msdos partition format probe will always succeed on any valid Atari partition table, while Atari format probe should not succeed on plain MSDOS partitions. Do the reporters if these bugs have Atari partition format enabled in their kernels? I would expect the same false positives to happen there, if the atari_probe() code is functionally equivalent to the kernel partition probe code. Do you have a dump of the root sector (plus additional eventual extended partition root sector) from these bugs?
This is a very good point. We should have a look at the probing code in the kernel because apparently the problem doesn't exist there. And, yes, it would be interesting to get a dump of these boot sectors as I haven't run into the problem myself and would be very curios why the misdetection happens. Adrian -- .''`.
