Hi people,
	here's an interesting problem, if you have any ideas please e-mail me.

Background.

	In order to give a new sys. admin a chance to have a play without 
touching the production boxes, I grabbed a spare machine and set up
Linux V 1.2.1 from the cdroms I have. All is fine and everything works
well.  Hardware is as follows...

Intel DX-2 66
16Mb RAM
UM8810 PAIO M/B ( UMC 88XX chip set )
Seagate ST3660A HDD
( 1057/16/63 native, Linux correctly reports as 528/32/63 )
Trios64 S3 PCI 2MB controller
Novell NE2000 network card.

The Problem.

I attempted to upgrade to a later kernel release, I had 1.2.7 as well as
1.3.0 so I went for 1.2.7 as that was a bit closer to the original.  i
ran the make config with no problems, ran make dep ; make clean and all
is fine.  I then ran a make zImage which also ran without errors, so I
thought every thing would be fine.  I coppied the new image to the root,
re-ran lilo ( still no errors ) and did a reboot.  ( you can see it
comming can't you ? )

Well now the fun begins, the machine boots up, probes for hardware and
mounts the drive for checking and promptly panics with the following
error....

EXT2-fs: #inodes per group too big: 8200

So what is the go here ?  Kernel 1.3 has no effect, but if I re install
the 1.2.1 image as the boot image the machine is fine again.  Any one
got an idea for this one ?

	TIA

		Simon.
