Basically, the kernel has no idea what the time is at boot. But once you set the time, it should keep time until you shutdown. The best way around the fsck problem is to boot a 2.2 kernel and disable timestamp based fsck on each filesystem with tune2fs -i 0 /dev/sdaN
I just did that and now it never complains the filesystem hasn't been checked in a long time. Thanks a lot. But I still do get errors, look: http://www.geocities.com/alexteclo/quadra700/2_6_16_20060523/010.jpg Latest news: I have just been able to boot 2.6.16 to the login: prompt ! That is good news ! ... but 1) I can't telnet or ssh to the quadra700, since there's no eth0 2) No support for serial ports (but that's not very important) 3) I can't login. It's just like if the keyboard wasn't plugged in. I can type what I want, nothing appears on the screen. Is ADB support working ? Ok, I've just done 10 boots with 2.6.16-20060523, for 3 of them, I can get to the login: prompt (but I can't login, see above) for 7 of them, I get a kernel crash. Cheers, Alex
