And the guy who closed the report could 1) not have closed it, 2) explained _why_ there's no support for booting up a JFS filesystem, 3) referred to the SUSE spec that says so and 4) explained how people go about upgrading from a 9.x system with a JFS root file system. >> By the way, did I completely miss the official announcement about SuSE >> dropping JFS >> root support?

Apart from booting up the rescue system and fixing the initrd, what else is there? (and I don't call that a fix, that's a work-around at best). Besides, I opened that report - and yes, I've read it too. /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
