I had a similar issue with intrepid. To be able to boot from the ext4 fs, I installed grub2 from jaunty. The error went away after compiling grub2 from source and coping only the ext2.mod to the grub dir. So there must be some later updates missing. I guess this is some fallout from 2.6.27/TESTFS or similar. Marvin > After looking at your for-stable branch, I think I'm missing a couple of > jbd2 patches.
