Public bug reported:
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.
