Hi,

After I updated my Debian kernel from 2.6.24 to 2.6.26 my system no
longer booted. I reproduced the problem with a vanilla 2.6.26. The
problem seems to be caused by the ide-tape driver when using a Seagate
STT20000A tapestreamer. After updating to
f2e3ab52afb3b05879b9d82a05740cd924993325 (ide-tape: convert to using
the new atapi_flags) my system booted again. Below the bootlog when the
system hangs (might be that the reported kernel version is wrong since I
couldn't get the output when the system hung, but the point of hanging
was the same for this version and 2.6.26):
