| 12:23 | <quinox> hi
| |
| 12:25 | <thierryforb> hello, I've found the problem, my system created in virtualbox use a fat32 partition, and it seems that only ext4 is supported for the boot
| |
| 12:25 | <quinox> great
| |
| 12:25 | <thierryforb> can you confirm this point ?
| |
| 12:26 | <quinox> I was going to ask whether the virtualbox partition was created uncompressed
| |
| 12:26 | yes, it needs ext3/ext4, and also a single partition
| |
| 12:27 | <thierryforb> ok
| |
| 12:27 | <quinox> a sparse vmdk won't work
| |
| 12:27 | <thierryforb> thank you for the answer
| |
| 12:27 | <quinox> no problem
