Product: Fedora Version: 11 Component: mkinitrd Alexandr Kara <sasakara@xxxxxxxx> has asked for fedora_requires_release_note: Bug 505846: After upgrading root partition to ext4, Fedora will not boot https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505846 ------- Additional Comments from Alexandr Kara <sasakara@xxxxxxxx> * Description of problem: After upgrading root filesystem to ext4, the system will not boot. * How reproducible: Possibly always (haven't tried multiple times) * Steps to Reproduce: change ext3 to ext4 in /etc/fstab for the root partition # telinit 1 # mount -o remount,ro / # tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/device # fsck -pf /dev/device # reboot * Actual results: Doesn't boot with a message like: "Cannot mount root filesystem, unsupported options(40)". * Expected results: Normal boot * Additional info: To solve the problem, I modified the initrd image manually - I changed "-t ext3" to "-t ext4" inside the "/init" file of the image. I didn't run mkinitrd after filesystem upgrade, this might have helped. I am adding this info in case somebody uses the same HOWTO and runs into problems. -- Fedora-relnotes-content mailing list Fedora-relnotes-content@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-relnotes-content
