No problem!


It would be great if you could try again with a stock Debian kernel
rather than a custom kernel. If that does indeed show the same issue, it
would also be great if you could try with the latest version (mondo
1:2.2.7-1 atm).


We're using 2.20-1.1 on other machines and they work just fine. The old 
machine will eventually get replace anyway, so I think it is safe to 
assume that this has something to do with the custom kernel. Hence, I 
think the bug can be closed.


Thank you for your help!

Best regards,
Björn

Hi Björn,

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you!

Thank you also for your detailed analysis of the issue.

I have not seen this behaviour before other than in the context of
something actually being wrong with loop devices, so this is a bit
weird. However, I may be mistaken but I think mindi is not trying to
mount an ext2 here but a floppy image which would be (v)fat. The system
can't find the default codepage 437 and therefore the mount fails.

rather than a custom kernel. If that does indeed show the same issue, it
would also be great if you could try with the latest version (mondo
1:2.2.7-1 atm).

Given that you reported this quite some time ago, this may not be an
issue for you anymore. It would be great if you could give your feedback
either way. (I'll close the bug in four weeks time if I don't hear
anything, but active confirmation from your end would be most welcome.)

Thanks a lot  best regards,
Andree
