Putting an Amiga FFS HD in Linux Box...
« on: August 24, 2004, 03:57:01 PM »
Hey forumers!

I'm running linux and have support for Amiga FFS enabled in my kernel..

Now I'm intending to stick my Amiga HDD in the box and see what happems..
Is that a good idea?
Has anyone in here tried it before?

I'm asking because the option in the kernel is experimental..
So I'm looking for experience to be shared here :)

Gimme feedback :)

cool Thanks mate..

I've completely overlooked the:
File systems -> Partition Types -> Advanced partition selection, Amiga partition table support.
option.

I'll give it a go later :)

nice to hear fx..

But I can't seem to kick the new kernel up at all..

After enabling the extended partion -erhm- something and included amiga ffs partion table support in the kernel it stops by a classic:
VFS: Kernel panic can't mount root at /dev/hdb2
And /dev/hdb2 has always been my root and is given to the kernel as a parameter on every linux boot entry I have in grub..
My other kernels boots fine but this one doesn't :-)

Have a suggestion guys?
Don't twist you pretty minds too much..
I'll go whine in a linux forum then :-)
