You are stealing the thread.... but you made me just realize something very important. You have this problem because you do not have ext3 support built in your kernel (you have it as a module). I had the same issue, i got this: EXT2-fs warning (device ide0(3,8)): ext2_read_super: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Not good!. So I just recompiled my kernel, making sure to include (in filesystems) ext3 built in the kernel, and now I get this: kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly. Thank you man!, you saved me from a lot of pain after my next crash!. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
