This user ivoks appears to have an upgrade issue. I assume he's enabled ext4 on an existing ext3 file system. Hopefully I can get more details. Have you seen anything like this? After looking at your for-stable branch, I think I'm missing a couple of jbd2 patches. Could they be significant? rtg i'm getting 'Invalid or unsupported executable format' from grub on all jaunty's generic kernels since (including) 2.6.28-7 ivoks: you must have HW issues. Surely lots of folks would have been howling by now. could be... but -6 works :/ even after reinstall of all kernels have you fsck'd ? could try that... it's ext4 ivoks: is it an ext4 upgrade, or was it install time formatted ? upgrade hmm, there were a bunch of ext4 changes that went into -7.18 right, i've noticed that ivoks: any change you could build a kernel with all of those patches reverted? I expected them via stable updates by now, but perhaps Ted has been finding issues with them. i could try... ivoks: they are all labeled 'SAUCE: (revert before 2.6.28.y update) ext4:' thanks only 21 commits :) is it possible to build i386 kernel on amd64? ivoks: you have to chroot the build. oh, right! rtg: so, reverting all ext4 commits since -6 did the trick ivoks: can you file a bug with the specifics, and your results that I can pass on to Ted ? yes, but later... i have to rush now :/ take care -- Tim Gardner tim.gardner@canonical.com
