Description Gour 2003-10-14 14:29:38 UTC

Today I tried to boot 2.4.23_pre6-gs-r1 kernel, but unfortunately the kernel is patched 
with old device-mapper and doesn't support evms2 volumes (I have root partition on evms 
volume). 
 
Since gs-sources are the only kernel with win4lin patches, please add evms2 support to 
gs-sources and/or add evms2 support to win4lin-sources kernel. 
 
Sincerely, 
Gour 

Reproducible: Always

I think evms2 is in gs-sources-2.4.25_pre7-r1

-r1 was a attempt to keep evms1.2.1 and also use device mapper
it breaks.

this patch

http://dev.gentoo.org/~livewire/pre7-evms2.patch.bz2

Will remove evms 1.2.1 and add devicemapper
to gs-sources-2.4.25_pre7   (not -r1)

Will get this fixed in -r2

Comment 3 Antonio 2004-03-02 03:00:46 UTC

But gs-sources-2.4.25_pre7-r2 use evms-1.2.1 and device-mapper not compile also win4lin not compile !!!
Where is the correct kernel ???
