Hm... I wonder what I’m missing in my setup. I still run grub-0.97 (I like it |
| 8 |
more because it loads faster than Grub 2 ^^). Anyhoo, I have /boot on my root |
| 9 |
partition, and a longer while ago I made the switch from ext3 to ext4 through |
| 10 |
backup, reformat and restore. According to dumpe2fs, I have the following |
| 11 |
features enabled on the partition in question: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent |
| 14 |
flex_bg sparse_super large_file huge_file uninit_bg dir_nlink extra_isize |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
My fstab entry is minimalist: |
| 17 |
/dev/sda3 / ext4 auto 0 1 |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
So how did I manage to get the system booted with grub 0.97 in the first |
| 20 |
place? I’m not using an “init thingy” BTW. ;-) |
