http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12354 Summary: Advisory: Debian's current initramdisk scripts break with an ext4 root Product: File System Version: 2.5 KernelVersion: 2.6.28 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: ext4 AssignedTo: fs_ext4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: jimsantelmo@xxxxxxxxx This is just a heads-up to hopefully save other people some time. I'm running 2.6.28 with debian/unstable, finally converted the root to ext4, and discovered that Debian with an initrd can't boot it because the initrd scripts apparently decide it is an ext3 filesystem with unsupported features. Not that they report this: instead you get an ENODEV message that had me convinced ext4 wasn't registering itself or some other such weirdness. Works fine if you use a "rootfstype=ext4" kernel boot parameter, or no initrd. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
