Hm... I wonder what I’m missing in my setup. I still run grub-0.97 (I like it more because it loads faster than Grub 2 ^^). Anyhoo, I have /boot on my root partition, and a longer while ago I made the switch from ext3 to ext4 through backup, reformat and restore. According to dumpe2fs, I have the following features enabled on the partition in question: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent flex_bg sparse_super large_file huge_file uninit_bg dir_nlink extra_isize My fstab entry is minimalist: /dev/sda3 / ext4 auto 0 1 So how did I manage to get the system booted with grub 0.97 in the first place? I’m not using an “init thingy” BTW. ;-) -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' Please do not use my email addresses within any Facebook service. GNU jokes are not Unix jokes.
