[Cooker] rc2: strange filesystem ext3
During installation of rc2 I formatted the partition with ext3. Installation was ok. But when I tried to boot to my extisting 9.0 partition I got an error like 'could not check filesystem on hdc9' (were I installed rc2). And I got no way to boot to 9.0. This also happened during installation of beta3 and rc1. The way I worked around with beta3 and rc1 was: I formatted the partitinon where I wanted to install by Acronis OS-Seletor for ext3. Another way was: to eliminate the partition wher beta3 resp. rc1 was installed from /etx/fstab in 9.0 and mount it manually. What could be the reason? Interesting may be: Acrinis partition expert shows the partition where rc2 is installed as fully used and no free space (really there are over 3 GB free). Any hint is appreciated. W. Kasberg

You assume that it's ext3 that's causing your problems, but in my experience, it's usually something hardware related. What options have you tried as far as enabling or disabling either or both apic and acpi? Blue skies...

I have to confess, I am not familiar with apic and/or apci or what is their influence. Could I simply change apic or apci on/off ? (Naturally change it in lilo.conf and then write a new lilo). At the moment I have the workaround: I have formatted the partition with AcronisOsSelector and then installed rc2 again. W. Kasberg

It is related to some new flag in latest ext3 that old e2fsprogs cannot understand. It is very annoying. It should qualify a backport of the changes required in e2fsprogs for all Mandrake releases supporting ext3. I got hit by this bug/feature (twice) when installing cooker, migrating stuff from an old disk to a new disk and then rolled back to 9.0 This means you cannot save stuff on hard drives formatted on 9.1, and use the hard drive on ?/8.2/9.0. Please fix. -- Regards // Oden Eriksson, Deserve-IT.com
