Re my earlier posting. Is there any problem with having your 7.1 (2.4kernel) set up with /boot ext2 /swap swap / reiserfs In my case /boot and /swap did not seem to be recognized by the kernel. Brian Marr On Mon, 09 Apr 2001, Brian Marr wrote:
My setup HD (1) Suse 6.4 with 2.2.18 /dev/hda1 /boot /dev/hda2 /

Since recompiling my 2.4 kernel I cannot boot into Suse 7.1 I was booting from a floppy into 2.4 and lilo into 2.2.18. I required some more kernel features -recompiled 2.4 ok. Did not want to run lilo and loose my existing setup. Upon reboot struggled back in with the rescue disk. I had some problems getting yast to write the new floppy config. Yast wrote to /boot ok, but am not sure how to use this. Eventually 2.4 booted but will only go into
repair filesystem#
Some of the logs -Activating swap devices in /etc/fstab failed -Parallelizing fsck version 1.19a -fsck.ext2 no such file or directory while trying to open -/dev/hdh1 -the superblock could not be read or describe a correct -ext2 filesystem -fsck.ext2 /dev/hdh1 failed, (status 8) run it manually
at the repair filesytem promt I log in as root
If I do e2fsck /dev/hdh1 I get repeated messages fsck.ext2 no such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hdh1 What am I doing wrong ? Device hdh1 is not mounted. Swap does not seem to activate and hdh1 will not mount. From 2.2.18 I can mount hdh1 and see the files ok.
Any thoughts, suggestions, helpful advice appreciated
