not booting

I wanted to try ext4 (yes I have kernel 2.6.28) so I converted, so I followed this little guide here:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Create...om_ext3_to_ext4

 

But now when I try to boot, the kernel panics complaining about not being able to mount root because an optional feature (of ext4) was enabled, so I guess I have to add some options to fstab but I am not able to mount the partition anymore in intrepid

sudo mount -t ext4dev /dev/sdb1 /media/ext4/

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,

missing codepage or helper program, or other error

In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

dmesg | tail or so

 

from dmesg

 

[ 467.152672] EXT4-fs: sdb1: not marked OK to use with test code.

 

 

So how to mount and how to then correct my fstab?

I had kernel 2.6.28 which has ext4 support. Anyway I had a hell of a time using mkinitrd from a chroot enviroment so I decided to reinstall and use the opportunity to go 64bit

 

Maybe for future reference how do you chroot with /proc and /dev mounted? Can this only be done from the same flavour/version as the chrooted enviroment?
