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 -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Gentoo-from-ext3-to-ext4-tp21750949p21750949.html Sent from the gentoo-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
