Not without fixing the initrd created by 10.0. Once you do that, it works perfectly fine. (and it's just a question of editing /etc/sysconfig/kernel and running mkinitrd). So the answer is - definitely possible, but not supported ... > * why is not the jfs file system supported. JFS caused a problem in 9.3, or rather the earlykdm init-script of 9.3 unearthed some problems in JFS. They were fixed quite early - back in March I believe - but didn't make it in time for the 9.3 deadline. Perfectly reasonable. > I can't answer the first thing, but clearly the second one must have an > explanantion - > you just give a very convincing one (citation) - should be on opensuse. What happened in 9.3 is all over and done with, but I fail to understand what was so difficult about re-instating JFS functionality and support in 10.0 now that the problems have long been fixed. After all, I'm sure Novell didn't just sack all the people who understood JFS :-) /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
