 Posted: Wed Jul 09, 2003 2:14 pm Post subject: Wireless pcmcia + kernel recompile trouble |
 |
|
I attempted to recompile my kernel (wireless pcmcia issues) and when I went to mount /boot, I got an error stating that ext3 wasn't supported by the kernel. I recompiled again and added ext3 support and still could not mount /boot. Rebooted (wirelss problem was fixed) but fsck yells at me constantly. I never even mounted /boot, copied the new kernel and told grub to boot it? Does anyone have an idea of what I did?
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
removed all devices under wireless support
make dep && make clean... |
never mounted /boot or copied new kernel config or even told grub to boot it  |

Am I making any sense? <inserts best no0b excuse here>  |

My first question is could you post one of the exact error messages? My second question is did you make modules and install them? What did you format your /boot partion as? Are you trying to mount your boot partion as root?
I am not sure what is causing this.

Ok, I must be on crack! Please ignore the above errors.. the error was from /etc/rc.conf
however, I get this error when I try to mount my boot partition...
| Code: | laptop root # mount /dev/hda2 /boot
mount: fs type ext3 not supported by kernel |
