[U-Boot] U-Boot can't read ext2 filesystem created by Fedora 11

[Mike Cruse]

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
