Ok - this boots! Yay! Yes, this could be something with my build
procedures, but remember that the first time I tried it was with the
kernel & xeno images copied from the CD (they bombed before the domain
0 was started).
Here is the current status with domain 0 filesystem troubles:
- Only the first filesystems mount (note that the ReiserFS on /
mounted fine):
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 16016308 9988792 6027516 63% /
/dev/sda1 46636 18682 25546 43% /boot
shmfs 48400 0 48400 0% /dev/shm
- But these did not mount, and I don't know why (my other FS' are
commented out in /etc/fstab):
/dev/sdb1 /tmp reiserfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sdc2 /globus reiserfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sdh1 /home reiserfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sdm1 /data/web02files reiserfs defaults 0 0
They did not mount at boot time, and the errors went by too fast
to see (they're not in dmesg or the boot logs in /var/log).
When I try to mount a reiserfs filesystem (i.e., "mount /tmp") from
the running system, the mount just hangs in an IO wait and never comes
back (I can't even kill -9).
- Here's an ext2:
/dev/sdd1 /mnt/d ext2 defaults 0 1
When I try to mount after the system is running:
# mount /mnt/d
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd1,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
When I tried to boot with /mnt/d in /etc/fstab, I got an error
about fsck needing to run (which is false), then supposedly
got dumped into single-user mode to run fsck, but in fact
the system hung...no prompt, hard reboot needed.
Yes, these are all SCSI drives, and were configured correctly
(right speed, bus, Mhz...) when the kernel initialized.
I will try to add a domain, but wanted to write here about
the filesystems. (Also, I now need to reboot to the old
kernel, to get the filesystems back with the domain tools
for 1.1).
If it would help, I could put a different distribution
on this system. It's SuSE 8.1, which is generally good
but doesn't even include ext3. RH9 or Debian would
probably do fine.
Thanks again for working on this, and I hope all my analysis
is helpful!
