What filesystem is your / ? > > Binand I had already posted my problem once in this list. Its like this: I compiled the new kernel, with ext3 as modules. I have the / filesystem also ext3 - but I do have initrd. Now, the real problem is that, I changed the fstab entries and made all partitions from ext3 to ext2. Then also, the kernel was trying to mount the / file system as ext3 and it failed at that point. :-\ So my questions are: 1) Why is the kernel not loading the ext3 module when required 2) Why is it trying to mount filesystems as ext3 even when I specified it as ext2 -- Jemshad O K http://jemshad.com System Administrator Deru Communications http//deru.net @(-_-)@ "I know Karate, Kung Fu, and 47 other dangerous words" -- http://www.fastmail.fm - And now for something completely different� ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
