- Actually, I hadn't seen Linus's patch at that point, so I added those lines,
- and it helped -- it got rid of one type of kernel panic.
-
- Now the system boots, inits everything, and then attempts to mount /dev/hda1,
- which is a minix filesystem, and it panics. Magic numbers don't match or
- something like that (I apologize for not being able to report the actual
- message, but I'm in the lab, not in my dorm room :-). Kernel panics and
- dies, leaving no diagnostic messages. I don't have any other filesystems
- compiled into the kernel except /proc.
-
- Has the fs code changed *significantly* between versions? My fs was set up
- using SLS 0.98.1 disks.
-
- If anyone else has run into this, then drop a line. This is almost out of my
- range.....
-
- BTW -- has anyone proposed adding (in the great newsgroup split) c.o.l.problems
- ?
-
- Thanks...
