Hello everyone,I have a problem with booting openSUSE 12.3 from an ext2 partition using GRUB 0.97 as follows:
If the initrd file uses **more than 4** extents on the ext2 partition, loading it takes "forever" on a recent Core2Duo system (i.e. up to ~60 seconds). That is, grub prints:
------ root (hd0,0) kernel ... initrd ... <flashing cursor for a long time, i.e. up to 60 seconds> ------ and then continues normally.If the initrd file takes **4 or less** extents on the ext2 filesystem, the initrd is loaded in "no time" (i.e. faster than the eye can see).
I reported the problem here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=808611 Is this a known problem? Best regards, J Brauchle
