Binary package hint: genext2fs
I had a hard time finding out why extlinux (from the syslinux package) did not like the images I generate with genext2fs. I finally found out that genext2fs creates ext2 revision 0 filesystems (which seem to be deprecated since Linux 1.2 or so).
The only way I found to "upgrade" the FS to revision 1 is to run "tune2fs -j <image>" to add a journal, and then run "fsck.ext3 -f <image>" to set the revision level. |

The problem can be verified using "tune2fs -l <image>", which prints out the revision number. |
