Re: [Cooker] Problems booting with ext3 for root partition

2003-11-06 Thread Svante Signell
The long thread on 'kernel 23mdk panic' seems to be related to my
problem. Has anyone made a summary of conclusions made so far? Which
kernels are known to boot properly, with and without initrd?

 This happens with e.g. kernels 2.4.18,2.4.20 and 2.4.22. Also, with an
 initrd RAM disk no kernels boot at all, the boot halt with a kernel
 panic, so I have to use the noinitrd option. The master boot record is
 located on another physical disk (/dev/hda), and I'm using lilo as boot
 loader.
 
 Checking the state with tune2fs -l /deb/hdb1 after boot shows that the
 filesystem state is not clean. However, booting from a CD and mounting
 the root partition either as ext3 or ext2, all is OK, the filesystem
 state is OK. I did even remove all journal file information, checked the
 partition, created a new journal file (and even tried the features
 filetype, sparse_super), rechecked again, but same result as before :(  
 
 What's going on here?

Stick with 2.4.22-21mdk if you can for the moment ...

[Cooker] Problems booting with ext3 for root partition

2003-11-03 Thread Svante Signell
Hi,

I have been following the cooker development on and off for some years
now, and have not had any problems with the root partition as ext3 until
around half a year ago. The boot message displayed is:

EXT2-fs warning (device ide0(3,65)): ext2_read_super: mounting ext3
filesystem as ext2

This happens with e.g. kernels 2.4.18,2.4.20 and 2.4.22. Also, with an
initrd RAM disk no kernels boot at all, the boot halt with a kernel
panic, so I have to use the noinitrd option. The master boot record is
located on another physical disk (/dev/hda), and I'm using lilo as boot
loader.

Checking the state with tune2fs -l /deb/hdb1 after boot shows that the
filesystem state is not clean. However, booting from a CD and mounting
the root partition either as ext3 or ext2, all is OK, the filesystem
state is OK. I did even remove all journal file information, checked the
partition, created a new journal file (and even tried the features
filetype, sparse_super), rechecked again, but same result as before :(  

What's going on here?
