[LinuxBIOS] Problem with FILO

[Otávio Alcântara]

Hello,

I've setup a linuxbios rom, based on norwich board support, for a
board with Geode LX + CS5536. I works right until starting the Linux with
FILO. FILO claims that can't recognize my filesystem. I've setup the option
FSYS_EXT2FS = 1 on Config file of Filo, and my image is EXT2 formatted.
          Is there any other option that need to be setted? Is possible to
choose more than one file system, I mean, FAT and EXT2?

Best Regards,

[Uwe Hermann]

Yes, there's an option in FILO's 'Config' file for that.

Where's your ext2-formatted disk? /dev/hda1?

Please post the 'Config' file from FILO you were using as well as the
exact error message (or better: full boot log) you get.

Thanks, Uwe.

Yes, that should work just fine.

Please try the patch I sent to the list a while ago and send back the
debug output you get.

Thanks!

Hello,

Sorry, it was my bad. I wrong typed the address of option root (
root=/dev/hda insted of root=/dev/hda1 ) of FILO's 'Config' file.

So you confirm the patch works for you?

What hardware was this on again?

Thanks!

I didn't use your patch and I've used the same board ( Geode 800
LX + CS5536 ) and a HD with Ubuntu 5.0 and Ext2 File System.
Thanks,

Otávio
