I ditchted XP and installed Gentoo again, and now /boot is settled on /dev/hda1. First I did fdisk etc, and mounted the partitions.

/boot is type ext3.

However, I was going to recompile the kernel, so I wanted to mount /boot, and now I get this message:

"fs type ntfs not supported by kernel"

This was the former filesystem, I deleted the partition with fdisk, created a whole new set of partions, even when I do fdisk now, it says /dev/hda1 is of type Linux (83).

So I cannot do anything (at least, cannot compile new kernel, well, I can compile it but I cannot move it to /boot :( )

what to do?

well, I mounted with explicitly giving the type:

mount /dev/hda1 /boot -t ext3

that works.

strange....... :?

Maybe /etc/fstab is stale?

Sounds like the "magic number" is wrong. What's the output of "fdisk -l /dev/hda"?

"/dev/hda1 1 7 5288+ 83 Linux"


this is the concerning hda (only typed this line, still haven't figured out to copy and paste between f.e. emacs and mozilla..)

anyway, seems goed, Linux as ID, in fstab it's also ext3

I believe someone else had posted the exact same problem and solution less than a week ago in the forums.
