| |
Hello,
I don't know if the article hasn't got through correctly - or the phenomenon sounds so strange that there is nobody with any idea around.
I posted the following last Friday - no reaction yet:
I have no idea at the moment what's going on here:
Yesterday I booted 2.1.96 (with new kmod.c by Mikael Pettersson - and no "make clean" after the 2.1.95 compile) which gave an kernel oops in swapper (I think) a bit before mounting the root fs (ext2 on IDE /dev/hda2) ro. Systems halts/stops when trying to remount the root fs rw. (I could reproduce that (and have done so), but I'm not too eager to do so.)
Now for the interesting part: After rebooting 2.1.95 a filesystem check has been required (e2fsck 1.06, system is not up to date in all parts) but completed without any corrections. I don't notice any problems with this partition either under 2.1.95. BUT: If booting 2.0.x kernels (tried 2.0.32, 2.0.30, 2.0.28 images from that root fs which worked flawlessly before; and also booting a kernel image from floppy) the system simply stops shortly after "VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly." - with 1-2 s disk activity after that message.
