I’ve upgraded to 8.0 from 5.0. Motherboard and other stuff is a
few years old. The upgrade went fine but I have several problems.
1.
I opted to convert
to ext3. The system works, but mount during boot complains that ext3 is not
supported by the kernel. Is this a problem ? /proc/filesystems has only ext2.
2.
I cannot mount cdrom
and floppy:
mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device
mount /dev/fd0
mount: fs type vfat not supported by kernel
Is this related to an incompatibility between 5.0 and 8.0 ?
Is this related to the ext3 fs error message ?
3.
My NIC doesn’t
work, I bought a new one, still no go. I may need a
driver, but cannot proceed until I get cdrom and/or floppy to work.
Please help!
