Good that there are patches. I ran out of ideas. Another option would be not to link against libext2fs, but copy some essential code out for ext2/3. It is likely that more patches will be needed in future. Like it is done with xfs and reiserfs. G On 08/05/2011 12:34 AM, Rick Thomas wrote:

Make sure, you select Power6 compat mode in Processing TAB for this LPAR. Otherwise, installer will install 32-bit kernel, which produces errors like this. After installation, you can revert back to Power7 mode. Gasha On 09/12/2011 04:25 PM, Benedikt Wegmann wrote: Thanks everybody for you
