[ilugd] abt kernel 2.6.5 and 2.6.6
hi, i compiled my kernel 2.6.5 and 2.6.6 and having problem with my cdrom device. the kernel message at boot says mount fs not supported by the kernel even though it detects my hardware and i have included the support for the file formats on cdrom.

SV dude, you need to give _error_ messages for us to understand whats going on. don't just tell what happens as it isnt of any use. you need to answer these q's. 1. does cat /proc/filesystems have iso9660 ? 2. are you sure you configured the kernel properly? 3. have you encountered the same errors when you boot a prebuilt kernel image for your distro? 4. what does the entry in fstab say? btw kernels upto 2.6.6-rc3 dont have any bug related to this (i havent come across any in lkml till now). but i suggest you stick to the stable kernels unless you need to submit patches or are into development etc. at least dont report errors with prepatched kernels or snapshots to an LUG mailing list. if you are sure you found a bug, please report it to the linux kernel mailing list. they will be more than happy to help you. (i am saying this as you are reporting an error with kernel 2.6.6 which is still under development).

hi, the /proc/filesystem is empty the prcompiled kernels that i had with my distro mandrake 2.4.25-2 and 2.6.3-4 and they are working fine. i did include the support for the file formats for the cd and other file systems.even it appears strange i have included support for both the ext3 file system and ext2 but at the bootup the message it wud mount the ext3 as ext2.this appears to be very strange and i suppose every linuxx user is very familiar with ext3 file format. all other things seem to work well barring these 2.

Decompress the file, copy it to your kernel sources directory, rename it .config. Also, use make xconfig for a qt interface (good for beginners). built the necessary filesystems' support into the kernel. at least iso9660 and ext3. you wont bloat the kernel too much. make sure the following lines are there in your .config: CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=y CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y (if you build modules, replace y with m) Finally, RTFM.
