[gentoo-user] Gentoo from ext3 to ext4

[reQuiem23 <niklas.baumstark@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

i just had the idea to make a new ext4 partition (via mkfs.ext4) and copy
(cp) my whole root-dir into that new partition, change the /etc/fstab, add
an entry to the grub.conf and booting into that new partition. My /boot is
on a separate ext3 partition, so this is not a problem. The kernel i use is
gentoo-sources 2.6.28-r1 with ext4-support enabled. However, when i want to
boot into my new system, the system starts, even the uvesafb starts, but
than the booting process stops with a message like "tty starting" and the
system reboots.

I removed all the files in /proc /dev and /sys, so probably this could be
the cause of the problem. Or does anyone have an idea what could be the
problematic factor here? unfortunately i can't provide any logging
information because i can't get to a working shell :(

Greetings,
Niklas
