...ere are my steps : ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A) Create an ext2 partition. I did the following steps : 1) boot from CD 2) Activate GParted 3) Create Partition table on the "fresh disk" (/dev/sda). 4) Create 1 ext2 partition (and mark its flag as "boot"). B)mkdir /mnt/Ext2_partition C) mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/Ext2_partition D) mkdir /mnt/Ext2_partition/extlinux E) extlinux --directory /mnt/Ext2_partition/extlinux --install /dev/sda1 Step E fails (as if the command line is incorrect). I get the same output as if I typed "extlinux" without arguments. What's wrong ?...

...te the filesystem or let GParted create it? Which version of GParted? Which version of libparted? There were some bugs regarding quite recent versions of GParted resulting in filesystems larger than the partition. And I do not trus "mkfs ext2" within parted as well. > B)mkdir /mnt/Ext2_partition > C) mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/Ext2_partition I experienced some bad behaviour up to unclean filesystems using the ext2 and ext3 drivers in kernels from 3.2 upwards. You might want to mount explicitly using the ext4 driver. Regards, Mattias -- Mattias Schlenker - Redaktion + EDV-Beratung + Linu...

...arted 0.11.0) > > I think that the problem is in my command line. extlinux --install /mount/point/subdir usually does the job. I suspect the filesystem was created using libparted's ext2 code. Unmount and run mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda1 Then mount again as ext4: mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /mnt/Ext2_partition Then mkdir and run extlinux again.
