Cannot boot with ext4
Hello,
I installed 14.0 with a ext4 partition and lilo on the root partition. After that I pointed Easybsd to where lilo can be found. But after booting it's stops with this message : ext3fs (sda1) Error: could not mount because of unsupported options. I verified the downloaded iso and it's allright. The md5sum's are correct.

Please show your /etc/fstab, /etc/lilo.conf. Also which kernel do you use? To boot your installed system, boot from installation media, then after "boot:>" line type:
Code:
root=/dev/sda1 rdinit= ro First, boot from installation media, log in as root and then: Code:
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt |
Hello,
I have wrote them on paper. fstab : Code:
/dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults 1 1 Code:
image /boot/vmlinuz Roelof |
Your kernel is kernel-huge* package? Please check for this and also check for that kernel-modules package is in accord to the kernel package, i.e:
Code:
# ls -1 /var/log/packages/kernel-{huge,modules}-smp* Code:
# fdisk -l Code:
ext3fs (sda1) Error: could not mount because of unsupported options. Code:
[ 1.725206] EXT3-fs (sda2): error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240) |
Hello,
The file -s does not work on the install disk. I noticed that first it seems to be stuck at checking for RAID arrays. Then when it goes on I see the first, sometimes the second line ext2, ext3 but that took also ages. Is there a way I can tell lilo not to check Raid and that the rootfs is ext4. Wierdest thing is that 14.1 has not that problem.It boots very fine but then I cannot install Dropline Gnome. The version is not released yet and I have no idea when that happens. Roelof |
Hello,
Lilo does not support access to the kernel as a file on a filesystem at boot time, he does not depend on a filesystem. Lilo looks for kernel image on a first 0...1023 cylinders. Can you provide a photo of screen when boot process is stopped? Currently I have no any ideas, sorry for that. UPD: But you can make a 'file -s something' to work on the install disk with following commands: Code:
# mkdir -p /mnt/dvd # just in case, by default /mnt/dvd is exist (but I could be wrong) |
I hope the '/dev/fdo' in your fstab is a typo ...
I have seen strange behaviour with typo's there ... |

I was speaking of /dev/fdo instead of the correct /dev/fd0
And yes, I know its a floppy, but it comes immediate after the entry for sda1 ... it might have caused errors when reading through the fstab |
This one can be closed. Im giving up on it. It takes to many time.

Do you mean Easybsd, the script to manage post installation of FreeBSD or EasyBCD the Windows utility to manage the Windows bootloader? Anyway, it seems that Slackware is not the sole OS in your PC. Could you please describe what OS are installed and how Slackware is supposed to be booted? If you have a dual-boot Windows 7/Vista - Slackware, you should consider reading this tutorial from Alien's Bob: Adding-linux-to-the-windows7-boot-menu/ |
I don't think easybsd will boot ext4 will have to use ext3 partition.
