Re: [Cooker] 8.2b3, mkinitrd causes system lockup

Hi again,

  Should I try an mdk kernel?
 
 We can't give you support if you don't use our kernel..

Well I would If I could :)

[root@grunt:root]# rpm -ihv /home/tomas/tmp/get/kernel-2.4.17.22mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm
Preparing...### [100%]

mke2fs 1.26 (3-Feb-2002)
crashes here

 At the moment when the e2fs filesystem is built using loopback.
 Could it be you have a problem with your loopback?

Thanks for the pointer, that might be the problem. I'll have to look 
into it a bit further.

Regards

 The kernel I'm trying to compile is 2.4.18-ac2 (not mdk), I verified 
 by trying to rebuild the initrd of the 2.4.17+preempt+lockbreak kernel 
 I'm using presently and it locks up too.

 PS: Since I'm only using initrd for the reiserfs module I guess I 
 could just compile it in an not use initrd anymore...

Yes but be informed that you won't be able to provide mount
options (such as notail for reiserfs for example).

 
 Thanks in advance for any help, looking forward to Mandrake 8.2
