Yes, the entry is there. > >Well, at least all my data is still there. > >Any suggestions? > > I don't understand how your jfs root can possibly be mounted as msdos - > are you absolutely positive this is what is happening? Oh, sorry, that's not what I meant. The partition is mountable as jfs manually, so to say with "mount -t jfs /dev/hdg1 /mnt/gentoo". But what I meant, is that when booting a kernel, there comes the point when the root fs is mounted automatically. And that's when /dev/hdg1 is recognized as msdos filesystem. Of course it's not being mounted, because it is jfs - but the kernel panics because he doesn't know better. Has my problem become a bit clearer now? Oh, btw: I just created a new jfs partition and copied the content of /dev/hdg1 into it and adjusted /etc/fstab on the new partition. Then I made a new boot entry for grub for this partition and guess what! Yes, it works. I'm doing the same procedure again now, because I forgot to preserve the file attributes when copying /dev/hdg1. However, this test shows to me that grub and my system are both okay. The problem must be in jfs. Regards.
