Found it. If I add the following lines at the beginning of my /linuxrc in initrd image, it boots fine with ext3 as a module : echo "Loading jbd.ko module" insmod /lib/jbd.ko So the problem may/must be in mkinitrd. I'm working on it. In the meantime, you can use these instructions (as root) to build a correct initrd and run test9.2mdk : cp /boot/initrd-2.6.0-0.test9.2mdk.img initrd-2.6-test9.2mdk.gz gunzip initrd-2.6-test9.2mdk.gz mkdir initrd-2.6-test9 mount initrd-2.6-test9.2mdk initrd-2.6-test9 -o loop my_favourite_editor_aka_emacs initrd-2.6-test9/linuxrc # add the 2 lines to load jbd after #!/bin/nash umount initrd-2.6-test9 gzip initrd-2.6-test9.2mdk cp initrd-2.6-test9.2mdk.gz /boot/initrd-2.6.0-0.test9.2mdk.img lilo # or install any other boot loader Regards -- Olivier Blin
