Booting to ext2

[Socaltom]

I'm not sure how I did it, but my P-Pro reports that the root drive is ext2. I've created a journal. how do I get it to boot as ext3? I've got ext3 running on my pink pogo now, but those same instructions don't work on the pro.
Thanks
Tom

What does fdisk -l shows for the drive ? Did you try manually mounting as ext3 ?

You'll need to adjust the u-boot parameter via blparam (if you are booting from NAND)

I did it!

Reran blparam to check that nothing else changed... once I confirmed that I rebooted. If something else changed, I would have been PMing Warheads... but all went well.
Thanks again

Could you post the exact command using blparam?


Thanks.

[bodhi]

Thanks Tom! that's what I was looking for (I could not find any man page or tutorial for blparam) so just want to make sure that I use it correctly.
