Thanks to all the people who answered my posting! The problem was the
>= comparison around line 373. I changed it to > and now had no more
problems with the hard disk. However, I noticed I couldn't use the
rs232 port. It turned out that the file tty.h defines the number of
consoles to be 2, so the serial port is (I guess) assumed to be
/dev/tty2, while up to now it was /dev/tty1. I changed the number of
consoles to 1 and recompiled and everything works fine. Was there any
reason to have NR_CONS (number of consoles) larger than 1?
