[solved] kernel26zen5 cannot boot ext4 rootfs
i migrate my root fs to ext4. with kernel26 (2.6.28-3) from testing repo is everything fine.
but when i compile my custom kernel (from zen git repository - zen5) kernel26zen.img cannot recognize ext4 root partition and failed to recovery shell 
autodetect hook bring ext4 module to initramdisk, lsmod show my present this module...
i think myself, that klibc 1.5.15 from testing repo solve my problem. but not 
any help?

Try posting Zen related questions on their forum, otherwise they wont get your complaints and bugs in the kernel.

Re: [solved] kernel26zen5 cannot boot ext4 rootfs
Compile it into the kernel then?

Re: [solved] kernel26zen5 cannot boot ext4 rootfs
That may be the problem, running latest grub/klibc/mkinitcpio from testing?

Re: [solved] kernel26zen5 cannot boot ext4 rootfs

grub 0.97-15, klibc 1.5.15-1, mkinitcpio 0.5.20-1.
in grub recovery shell lsmod show me ext4 module, kernel parameter rootfstype=ext4 cannot help me.
error message is :
Attempting to create root device '/dev/sda3'
ERROR: Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/sda3' unknown
Error: root fs cannot be detected. Try using the rootfstype= kernel paramter.
Root device '/dev/sda3' doesn't exist, attempting to create it
ERROR: Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/sda3'
ERROR: Unable to create/detect root device '/dev/sda3'
Dropping to a recover shell... type 'exit' to reboot
NOTE: klibc contains no 'ls' binary, use 'echo *' instead
If the device '/dev/sda3' gets created while you are here,
try adding 'rootdelay=8' or higher to the kernel command-line
ramfs$hmmm... but why arch kernel 2.6.28-3 starting from ext4 /boot without problems?
i saw patchset for 2.6.28-3 in ABS with some ext4 stuff...
maybe zen git dont have this patches...
