Package: wnpp Version: N/A Severity: wishlist udma100-ext3 variant of boot floppies uses a kernel patched with the latest ext3 and Hedrick's IDE patch
The patch supports the Promise and Highpoint chipsets used on EIDE controler cards or builtin on modern boards with VIA chipset. If you install the standard kernel-image package you may not be able to reboot, since the standard package does not contain the necessary IDE patch. An additional extra feature is ext3fs (aka Journaling for ext2). This extension is up and backward compatible with ext2. Though you must not expect real reliability and safeness for your data. -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Kernel Version: Linux zombie 2.4.9 #1 Fri Aug 17 17:08:53 CEST 2001 i686 unknown
