[U-Boot] U-Boot can't read ext2 filesystem created by Fedora 11
Hi,
I am currently going through the bring up of a Freescale MPC8536 based system. We use a SATA hard drive to boot from.
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.
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.
Regardless of where I created the filesystem it always shows up as ext2 on my desktop.
Any pointers or clues?
Thanks,
Mike

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:
