Thanks for showing me the error of my ways! Turns out, I had run mkinitrd earlier in the process to add ext3 to the initrd. So, had failed to run it, again, after activating the disk. Seems that doing it later on doesn't help. You really have to do it at the right time.
Now my disk and boot are happy. Martha ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
