[gentoo-user] Gentoo from ext3 to ext4

2009-01-30 Thread reQuiem23

Hi all,

i just had the idea to make a new ext4 partition (via mkfs.ext4) and copy
(cp) my whole root-dir into that new partition, change the /etc/fstab, add
an entry to the grub.conf and booting into that new partition. My /boot is
on a separate ext3 partition, so this is not a problem. The kernel i use is
gentoo-sources 2.6.28-r1 with ext4-support enabled. However, when i want to
boot into my new system, the system starts, even the uvesafb starts, but
than the booting process stops with a message like "tty starting" and the
system reboots.

I removed all the files in /proc /dev and /sys, so probably this could be
the cause of the problem. Or does anyone have an idea what could be the
problematic factor here? unfortunately i can't provide any logging
information because i can't get to a working shell :(

Greetings,
Niklas

yeah, but my /boot is still ext3 and grub IS actually loading the system, it
even runs uvesafb. or is grub even incompatible with ext4 root-filesystems?
i thought this was entirely handled by the kernel.

can i just copy these from my existing setup? I'll try that, thanks for the

I actually have that parameter on the kernel command line. I'll check my
grub version, though, thank you.

What you describe is pretty much my setup. I read that converting the FS
with tune2fs would not affect the storage of already existing files so i
thought it would be better to copy it all over. I also don't have another
64bit system with 2.6.28 kernel on my PC, so I tried it this way.

I did it exactly the way you recommended, but i still get an error, even
though it's another one than before:

Kernel: Unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing init= option to
kernel.

An idea?

Oh man, apparently i havent umounted the partition properly, for there is no
single file on it... This is of course not going to work.

As expected, it was not a good idea to try and boot from an empty root
partition :D now it all works, I'm writing this from ext4, thanks to all of
you for your kind help.

[gentoo-user] localmount before fsck: e2fsck complaining

2009-02-01 Thread reQuiem23

hi all,

i just noticed some warnings in my bootup process. the order of the services
in question is checkfs - localmount - fsck. however, checkfs does the
pending file system checks already before the partitions are mounted, so why
is there another service "fsck" which seems to do just the same? especially
because my /home partition is already mounted by localmount when fsck
starts, which is sort of a problem.

Greetings,
Niklas

[gentoo-user] Gnome doesn't recognize removable media

2009-02-01 Thread reQuiem23

Hello all,

I emerged Gnome 2.24 and am now experiencing problems with removable media.
It was not an upgrade, but a new install. Whenever i insert a CD or USB
stick, the system recognizes it (as you can see in the output of tail
/var/log/messages), but nautilus doesn't show a desktop icon or even
auto-mounts the volume. Are there any log files (maybe from udev and
nautilus) or settings i could check to investigate the problem? or is there
anything special about 2.24 that i could have overread?

the hal USE-flag is enabled and all packages are compiled with it. hald is
also running. is there any information (logs, for example) which would help
to investigate the problem?

hallo, thank you very much for the answer. i wouldn't now why checkfs should
have been in CONFIG_PROTECT, because i have never touched it, but it is true
that i had to update my openrc/baselayout. when i remove checkfs, though, it
would not solve the problem of localmount being run before fsck, would it?
the mounted /home part could still not be scanned, i suppose. am i wrong
here?

Greetings,
Niklas

Re: [gentoo-user] Gnome doesn't recognize removable media

2009-02-03 Thread reQuiem23

Hello all,

I have solved the problem now. It was due to a missing library issue in HAL.
A ln -s /var/lib64/libvolume_id.so.0 /lib64/libvolume_id.so.0 fixed it.

Greetings,
Niklas
