mk2efs fails (followup on reboot after part.)

[Bjørn Kastnes]

Hi,

This is an followup on my posting "Reboots after partitioning".

I investigated the problem a bit further and found that the first call 
mke2fs never returns, instead the machine reboots. The call to mke2fs 
looks like this:
       mke2fs -q -c /dev/sda1


My software:
 fai 2.5.4
 fai-kernels 1.6 i386
 kernel 2.4.24
 debian stable with updates

My  setup is using PXE-boot, and the partitioning is defined as follows

disk_config sda

primary  /fai-boot      16    rw,errors=remount-ro     ; -j ext3 -c
primary  /              512    rw,errors=remount-ro     ; -j ext3 -c
logical  swap           1024                             
logical  /var           2024    rw                       ; -m 5 -j ext3
logical  /usr           4096    rw            ; -j ext3
logical  /usr/local     4096    rw            ; -j ext3
logical  /tmp           512    rw,nosuid            ; -j ext3 -m 1
logical  /home        2096    rw,nosuid        ; -j ext3 -m 0
logical  /files/scratch 0-    rw,nosuid        ; -j ext3 -i 50000 -m 1

Any suggestions ?
