Aaaaaarg!!!! I need some help please! :-/
I followed my roadmap to XFS, the one based on Juliens experience in movin woody to XFS. Soooo: - I got my sarge CD, reinstalled with: hda1: Apple Partition Table hda2: Apple Bootstrap hda3: Linux Swap (1GB) hda4: Linux Native EMPTY -future XFS /- (45GB) hda5: Linux Native EXT3 / (5GB) hda6: Apple HFS+ -Panther- (4.9GB) - I updated and dist-upgraded sarge to unstable. - I installed Panther in the 4.9GB partition. I plan to tune it, configure it, and show of to my friends with it, and when I get tired of wasting 4.9 GB, I will dd+tar the partition image to a DVD, and keep it for future installs from Linux. (This is possible to do, right? :) - I rebooted, OF into yaboot, fixed the Bootstrap with ybin, rsynced linuxppc-2.5-benh from that physics dept. at munchen.de, make menuconfiged and make-kpkg kernel_image the brand new 2.6. - I rebooted again and tested that WITH THE 2.6 kernel, I could boot into EXT3. - I created /dev/hda4 and mkfs.xfs it. - I rebooted and booted in single mode, still with 2.4 over EXT3. MOunted SUCCESFULLY /dev/hda4 as XFS in /mnt with this very same 2.6 kernel. - I remounteed RO the / EXT3 partition. - I cp -ax / /mnt/ - I remounted RW the / EXT3 and fixed the /mnt/etc/fstab so now, the root was in hda4 as XFS. - I rebooted and in yaboot, I hardwired to the kernel the root partition, boot: linux-exp root=/dev/hda4 - It boots.... NAD IT HANGS AGAIN EXACTLY WHERE IT USED TO. With the very same error :_((((( Please help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ... :_( -- Desperate user trying to wonder why his system refused to boot under XFS
