hello
redhat 7.0 ist unbootable with my xfs kernel (old one, cvs from 2000-08-17,
compiled on redhat 6.2) with the same errors.
the redhat 7.0 installation is on a ext2 partition.
i have bootet the original redhat 7.0 kernel (2.2.16-22) and the xfs kernel
(2.4.0-test5-xfs-20000817) with "init=/bin/bash" on lilo prompt. and done
following:
mount -orw,remount /
strace -o ls.strace-`uname -r`
i attached both strace outputs.
i think the xfs kernel (all 2.4.0-test5 kernels?) returns the wrong error on
fstat64.
original redhat 7.0 kernel:
[...]
open("/", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY) = 4
fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
fcntl64(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not
implemented)
fcntl(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
brk(0x8059000) = 0x8059000
[...]
xfs kernel:
[...]
open("/", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY) = 4
fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
fcntl64(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
close(4) = 0
write(2, "ls: ", 4) = 4
write(2, "/", 1) = 1
write(2, ": Bad address", 13) = 13
write(2, "\n", 1) = 1
close(1) = 0
_exit(1) = ?
hope that helps.
