SILO fails to read silo.conf from EXT4 FS

["Raúl Porcel" <armin76@gentoo.org>]

Hi,

With the rewrite of the e2fs part of SILO, its unable to read 
/etc/silo.conf from an EXT4 FS. It can read from EXT2 and EXT3, though.

Dumpe2fs from the partition where silo.conf is located:

Log from boot:


Rebooting with command: boot 

Boot device: disk1  File and args: 

SILO Version 1.4.14_git2012226_p1 

 

Cannot find /etc/silo.conf (error: 4294967295) 

 

Couldn't load /etc/silo.conf 

No config file loaded, you can boot just from this command line 

Type [prompath;]part/path_to_image [parameters] on the prompt 

E.g. /iommu/sbus/espdma/esp/sd@3,0;4/vmlinux root=/dev/sda4 

or 2/vmlinux.live (to load vmlinux.live from 2nd partition of boot disk) 

boot:

Obviously the version where it used the e2fsprogs libs works fine.

Thanks
