I installed mdk7.1 on another hard disk and there is no problem. In the list archive I found a black list of "old" WD hdd not supported by Linux, my HD isn't in the list but I think it have to be added. I think there is some modifications, about hardrive handling, from 2.2.14 to 2.2.15, or configurations changes between mdk7.0 and mdk7.1 ? It's a strange decision to stop supporting 4-5 years old hardware ! -- Nicolas Justin - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

I installed mdk7.1, with my own CDs, on two another box and there is *no* problem; so CDs error is out of the way. Maybe there is a different kernel configuration between mdk7.0 and 7.1 ? Or maybe a kernel bug with the mdk7.1 kernel ? -- Nicolas Justin - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[expert] Kernel panic on boot
Hi! I installed the mdk7.1, and at the first boot I have a kernel panic: cannot mount root fs, just before init. I have this error message: EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,65)): ext2_check_descriptor: Block bitmap for group X not in group (block Y)! EXT2-fs: group descriptors corrupted! (where X and Y are differents from boot to boot) and sometimes: EXT2-fs: #fragments per group too big: 2147516416 With the rescue mode of the mdk CD I have execute an "e2fsck -fv" and it report no error, and I can mount and browse the partition with no problem. A low level format reveal no bad tracks. But there is *no* problem with the mdk7.0. I did an upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1 and I obtain the same error, "EXT2-fs error blah blah" and Kernel Panic. I tested Lilo and Grub: same result. The hard-disk is relatively older: Western Digital Caviar 3.2Go. Sorry for my bad english ! Thanks. -- ________ Nicolas Justin - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
