Re: [Cooker] (8.1) ext3 fsck problem with latest kernel
I actually have this running at @expert but only had one response... pretty dead over there... let me clarify things a bit... I had two boxes previously running 7.2 with ext2 box-x (broken box in question) and box-lt (laptop) after upgrading to 8.1, I decided to also upgrade to ext3. After recreating mkinird, box-lt worked without issue but box-x had this fsck problem. This is with the stock 8.1 kernel 2.4.8-26. I was able to resolve box-x problem by re-ordering the"global" section at the top of lilo.conf and adding in read-only into this section (it already was on every individual kernel already... don't know why it also needed to be there). This worked fine until I upgraded box-x to 2.4.8-36.1. I have not upgraded box-lt yet because it is running win4lin and they do not have an upgraded kernel for this yet. A new lilo.conf was automatically created during upgrade (which also did not have the read-only in the global section). I tried putting read-only on the new lilo.conf, I tried using the old lilo-conf only changing kernel versions, and I tried mkinitrd... all failed.

Re: [Cooker] (8.1) ext3 fsck problem with latest kernel
let me amend this abit. I was speaking of the initial 8.1 kernel, not 2.4.8-34.1mdk. I only updated the problem machine to 2.4.8-34.1mdk as I am waiting for win4lin to release the latest kernel before I do the other one. --- SI Reasoning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That maybe the case...but I upgraded two systems > from > 7.2 to 8.1 but only had problems with one of them... > I > was able to resolve it with the old kernel by > mkinitrd > and placing read-only in the global section at the > beginning of lilo.conf.

Re: [Cooker] (8.1) ext3 fsck problem with latest kernel
That maybe the case...but I upgraded two systems from 7.2 to 8.1 but only had problems with one of them... I was able to resolve it with the old kernel by mkinitrd and placing read-only in the global section at the beginning of lilo.conf.

I installed an 8.1 system recently using ext3, but it was formatted as ext3. The two disk system should make no difference, and I can't see as a 7.2->8.1 update would be the cause of the problem. When I have a chance, I'll try installing a 8.0 ext2-based system in vmware and then upgrade to 8.1 and converting the ext2 partitions to ext3.

I know that this is not an answer to your problem, but I am running 8.1 (with 2.4.8-34.1) with all but my home partition formatted ext3. I am constantly crashing this system due to some usb problem jamming up the shutdown.

[Cooker] (8.1) ext3 fsck problem with latest kernel
I have 2 hard drives. hda2 is /boot and hdb2 is / both of these run ext3 which were built from former ext2 partitions. When I first did the conversion I had to mkinitrd before I could get / to use ext3. It had worked fine until the latest upgrade to kernel 2.4.8-34.1mdk. Now it kicks out trying to do an fsck because hdb2 is already mounted. Earlier in the boot process it loaded the ext3 module and checked the journal for hdb2, then shortly after loading devfs, it again tries to fsck hdb2 and halts the process with the error message stating that hdb2 is already mounted. I have tried creating a new mkinitrd with the 2.4.8-34.1mdk kernel but I still get this message. Any ideas or is this a known bug? I have researched the lists and could not find this mentioned yet. = SI Reasoning [EMAIL PROTECTED] "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
