Now bootable > partions accross different aritectures is another story :-) I have no problems accessing from an x86 the ext3 partitions made from the x86_64 host that are on the same physical disk as that problematic xfs one. It's not the first time I try, with this exact same disk... last time I gave up trying to read it from an x86 host, and when I tried looking into the problem my x86_64 machine was having... gone, it was booting again, so I just put the disk back in, and it worked fine. Now, that x86_64 doesn't boot anymore (same problem), and I tried (again) to access the disk's data from an x86 test machine, and I can mount the ext3 partitions fine, I can even get the disk's grub to appear and the kernels tell me that I need a 64bit system for them to work ;-) But trying to mount that xfs partition (made on the x86_64 host running FC2) gives me a segfault every time, which is why I was asking : I'm 100% sure my x86_64 FC2 host could still read that partition if it still booted, whereas no x86 FC2 or FCDev can, as I see it... I've tried searching for info regarding possible incompatibilities for filesystems between archs, but can't seem to find anything relevant to my problem. > If your signature is correct your running FC3 test 2 (and upgraded the > hell out of it), do a clean install and try RC2.
