Re: SunBlade 100 and add-on ethernet card
Alvaro;
Note: the add one PCI card is an HME card
I haven't stopped playing around yet, but here is what happened with your
config file. I unpacked a clean copy of the 2.4.17 source tree, used 'make
menuconfig' to import your config file (which has the hme board
unselected), built and installed the kernel and the modules and rebooted.
When I select the old kernel, the system reboots without problems. (The
PCI card is currently not installed.) When I use the kernel built with
your config file, it has disk file system problems!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
fsck 1.25 (20-Sep-2001)
fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda4
(null):
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rebooting with the generic 2.4.10 kernel works without fail:
tethys:~# mount
/dev/hda4 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda5 on /altroot type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda6 on /s1 type ext2 (rw)
