Re: [U-Boot] U-Boot can't read ext2 filesystem created by Fedora 11

      Dear Mike Cruse,

I seem to have a problem reading ext2 filesystems created on a Fedora 11
system. I have checked the FAQ for something related to this.
You should also have checked the mailing list archives and/or the
commit logs. Searching for "ext2" seems not too difficult to me.
You would have found (among other things) this:
commit 56fdaadc124a8ef9ec0fd8ff578233ec3b1137be

ext2: fix inode size and calculations
...
If I create the filesystem on the 8536 eval system everything seems to
work fine. However if I create an ext2 filesystem on my desktop (F11)
with mkfs.ext2 then U-Boot cannot read anything. Below are some examples
of the responses I get. I am using a Freescale patched U-Boot version
2009.03-rc1.
Update.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
