John....did you actually mount an ext2 file system while booted
on tomsrtbt? I have a 7895 built into my motherboard and when
booted on tomsrtbt I can mount dos & windows filesystems but my
ext2 filesystems error out saying:
EXT2-FS: 08:07: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional
features
As to what the features are that are unsupported, I've no idea.
I just installed the system with the install program (DrakX on
Mandrake 7.0) and didn't pick any optional features that I was
aware of.
