http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13399 --- Comment #37 from Stan Senuta Jr. <ssenuta@xxxxxxxxx> 2009-06-19 04:37:25 --- I compiled kernel-2.6.30 from the tarball using the .config file from my kernel-2.6.29 & the "Make olddconfig" option. Kernel-2.6.29 was also compiled from source. I don't like Mandriva kernels because they require you to use an initrd. The only new configuration option I added to kernel-2.6.30 was to keep the default journal_data=ordered. I did this because I also run mandriva-2008.0 EXT3 on this "ASUS" box & It would only boot to ro failsafe mode unless I did this. I discovered that w/o journal_data=ordered, the rootfs is 1st mounted ro with journal_data=writeback & then couldn't get "re-mounted" rw with journal_data=ordered because changing the journal at re-mount isn't permitted by the kernel. Another oddity I ran into was that kernel-2.6.30 built under Mandriva-2009.1 EXT4 was not usable under an EXT3 filesystem. I had to compile kernel-2.6.30 for EXT3 Mandriva-2008.0 seperately or no modules would load. I am attaching a photo (crash.jpeg) of my init 3 screen after I inserted a dvd-rw disc formated iso9660 & it crashed. Please note, I didn't even attempt to mount this disc. The DVD_ROM drive "HDD" just crashes the system when a formated disc or movie disc is detected. I also am attaching a copy of my dmesg file because /var/log/boot.log is an empty file on my system. I hope that will help. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Here is my partition setup: Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 155061 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x06a2e5a5 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 58920 29695648+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 58921 118855 30207240 5 Extended /dev/hda3 118856 155061 18247824 83 Linux /dev/hda5 58921 59935 511528+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda6 59936 118855 29695648+ 83 Linux Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x6fb3f3d0 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 7 56196 83 Linux /dev/sda2 8 7841 62926605 83 Linux /dev/sda3 7842 15936 65023087+ 5 Extended /dev/sda4 15937 30401 116190112+ 83 Linux /dev/sda5 7842 8103 2104483+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 8104 15936 62918541 83 Linux [root@localhost stan]# df -T Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 ext4 60G 4.2G 52G 8% / /dev/sda1 ext3 54M 13M 39M 24% /boot /dev/sda6 ext4 60G 3.1G 53G 6% /usr /dev/hdc iso9660 2.4G 2.4G 0 100% /mnt/misc -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
