Eric, Which kernel module ? I am using initrd_ide.lrp.
Does initrd_ide.lrp include all the necessary modules ? I did a few experiments with it. What I found are: 1) mount /dev/hda1 /mnt on an existing/working Linux (83) partition > Mounting /dev/hda1 on /mnt failed: Invalid argument 2) mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt > Mounting /dev/hda1 on /mnt failed: No such device Note that /dev/hda1 is an existing/working Linux ext2 FS. 3. I "lrpkg -i hdsupp" and then did a fsck.ext2 on /dev/hda1. It worked fine as I expected - implies the FS on hda1 is an ext2. 4. I got a new disk and did a fdisk to create a new partition. If I label it fat16 and do a mkfs.msdos on it, I can "mount /dev/hda1 /mnt or mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt" - no problem. It also works fine with a new vfat or minix partition too. If I re-label the same partition as Linux partition i.e. 83 and do mkfs.ext2, surprisingly I can "mount /dev/hda1 /mnt" correctly. However, the same trick works only sometimes. Why ? Note that this is a new fdisk not the existing Linux partition. I need to mount an existing/working Linux partition. Any hint ? Thank you for your help. mount /dev/hda1 --- Eric Spakman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > You have to include and load the ext2 kernel module > to mount an ext2 fs. > > Eric > > -----Original Message----- > From: "wing newton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: 4-4-06 4:28 > Subject: [leaf-user] Bering-uClibc-2.4 mount problem > > Greetings, > > I installed initrd_ide.lrp and dmesg showed that > hda1 > and hda2 were detected. > > However, when I tried to mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 > /mnt > , it returns No such device. > > I also tried hdsupp.lrp. fdisk works fine but the > mounting problem is still there. > > I can mount /dev/fd0 fine but not any harddisk > partitions. > > Any hint ?
