From: Gary Lawrence Murphy X-Home-Page: http://www.teledyn.com Organization: TCI Business Innovation through Open Source Computing Date: 01 Aug 2002 15:40:58 -0400 Message-ID: Reply-To: Gary Lawrence Murphy X-Url: http://www.teledyn.com/ MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="=-=-=" Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1871 Lines: 47 --=-=-= This is one of the strangest situations I have ever seen: my re-compiled Linux 2.4.18 kernel now /refuses/ to read /only/ the "/Mandrake" directory branch of all three of the Mandrake distribution CDs. It /has/ to be some kernel option, but I can't figure which one; any advice or debugging hints at all are greatly appreciated. I had to recompile a Mandrake 8.2 kernel to remove pcmcia support (so I could use the sf release of it) Using the stock Mandrake 8.2 binary kernel, the CDs can be read just fine, it is only the kernel that I compiled from the linux-2.4.18-6mdk.src package that has this trouble. There are no warning messages, only one line returned to the console to say "ls /Mandrake: Invalid argument" and one line in syslog to say "ISO 9660: RRIP_1991A" and that's the total diagnostic information I have. Using /usr/bin/isoinfo, I can list the CD contents just fine; all the unix tools (ls, cd, cp ...) and rpm cannot read /Mandrake. What could I have possibly omitted from the kernel config to cause this? How could that one directory be singled out by a simple kernel config problem? (or could it be a gcc 2.96 problem?) -- Gary Lawrence Murphy TeleDynamics Communications Inc Business Innovations Through Open Source Systems: http://www.teledyn.com "Computers are useless.
