Re: [gentoo-user] anyone using Lilo to dual-boot ? -- discovery

[Philip Webb]

Further ideas : I tried booting a Gentoo kernel with the Ubuntu  /
& avoided the kernel panic, but ran into an Ubuntu init error,
so there's nothing inherently wrong with  /dev/sda8 .

Also, I checked the Ubuntu kernel config file, conveniently in  /boot ,
which has ReiserFS configured as a module, whereas Ext2 & Ext3 are 'y'.
That suggests that it's running into a road-block:
it needs to use ReiserFS to start 'init',
but can't load modules till it has already started 'init'.

In that case, I need to re-install Ubuntu using Ext2 or Ext3 .
In fact, it wb as a bug in Ubuntu's "advanced" install.

Does that make sense to anyone else ?
