Hey all,

I have a problem: I have used an GUID partition table and installed opensuse11.4. When I compiled a new version of OS (2.6.38.8 or 2.6.29.1) if stumble into a problem. That is, the boot process is stopped because it reports that the superblock has one block more than the file table allows for. It reports that the superblock states it has 4195072 blocks and the file system reports it has "only" 4195071 blocks.

It reports this error using 2.6.38.8 or 2.6.39.1. I like to use the newer OS because of the cgroup additions.

Using the MSDOS partition setup, it has no problems. So, only the GPT setup has problems.

I like to use the latest kernel while still using the original software distribution. Since 2.6.37.x is not up to current standard - and I don't like o to wait another 8 months - I really like to use the 2.6.39..... series of kernel. Am I doing something wrong. or are openSUSE 11.4 programs just outdated?

Regards, Frans.

If you can't get "support" for this because its not a supported mix of userspace and kernel, you might consider using Tumbleweed.

http://en.opensuse.org/Tumbleweed

Its a rolling upgrade version of openSUSE and it already has the 2.6.39 kernel as part of it. Tumbleweed issues should be supported.

I just remembered me again: I had disabled the EFI_PARTITION flag while configuring the kernel. Now it is working like it should be. Regards, Frans. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
