Re: [Haifux] Errors when Compiling 2.4.22 with modules (fwd)
i would try to break the problem into two problems. first, disable the automatic mounting of the ntfs file-system(s), and see if you can boot into the new kernel with the ext3 partitions only. by the way, i assume that ext3 is compiled directly into the kernel, and NOT as a module. if this is not the case, change it to be compiled into the kernel, and re-compile the kernel (re-compile means 'make clean' and only then 'make') and then try again. if you got ext3 mounting to work with the new kernel, then try to _manually_ load the ntfs.o module, and manually mount _IN READ-ONLY MODE_ an NTFS partition - see if that works. only after you manage to get this working - try to handle automatic mounting during boot. --guy > -- Forwarded message -- > Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2003 11:07:02 +0200 > From: yacoub <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Haifux] Errors when Compiling 2.4.22 with modules > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > >Baruch, > >Yacoub could not read your question, I expect, because he is not > >subscribed to haifux.

The NTFS drivers are considered beta (if not alpha) and are expected to work for read-only operation. Write operation is considered dangerous to your health. What is strange is that the Linux partition is corrupted and not the NTFS one(s). What sort of errors did you get before you had to reinstall?
