Hm, I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean. I changed the logic in 3.0.21, I supposed this is what you tried? The question should always be asked; the default should be "yes" for MILO and APB and "no" for SRM. So you didn't see this question? Then there's a bug somewhere.... > With woody it seems the milo is based on 2.2.16-SuSe so it should be > feasible to enable sparse ext2 for Alpha/Milo. Unfortunately, the 2.2 series doesn't seem to work for everybody... OK, a cleanup suggestion: - SRM: Never ask, just use new ext2. Nobody uses 2.0 kernels anymore. - MILO/APB: ask if user wants to boot from this partition using ancient MILO/APB. If yes, enable old ext2 and force blocksize to 1k if yes. Default to no. If this sounds reasonable, I will implement it after easter, OK? Falk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
