Public bug reported: I installed Alpha 3 of Karmic and noticed that I can no longer boot while my / partition is of type JFS. I get an error about VFS being unable to sync due to an unknown block type and the computer simply sits there flashing lights and looking pathetic.
This appears to be caused by the fact that JFS has been moved from being part of the kernel to being a module, and due to the fact that the module cannot be loaded until /lib is mounted which cannot be achieved until / is mounted as taavikko pointed out here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7675135&postcount=4), this essentially renders booting from JFS impossible. ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- JFS no longer built into the default kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/404451 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
