Greetings all! I have a problem with RedBoot - apparently Red Boot 2.0.0 can read ext2 formatted filesystems if you use mke2fs 1.36, but not with mke2fs 1.41.3 (from Ubuntu 8.10). (I get 'file not found', or something along those lines, when I try to boot with 1.41.3-formatted ext2 partition, but it works fine with 1.36-formatted ext2 partition. And I'm using a script which does simple 'mke2fs /dev/sda1' commands identically when building either 1.36-formatted or 1.41.3-formatted CF images).
I looked all over the place for a 'revision history' for RedBoot (and eCos), but no joy. I looked all over the mailing lists as well, and had no luck finding any hint of others having this problem. So - was this a known problem, and has it been fixed, or do I always have to format my ext2 compact flash partition with an old mke2fs? Or, in the alternative, would upgrading to the most recent RedBoot fix this issue? (I'd hate to spend the effort upgrading to find it doesn't fix anything and instead breaks something in our system...) Thanks!
