I put a journal on the root partition and now there is a appropriately different message at the same point in the boot process. ext2 and ext3 are both modules in this kernel.

Re: ext2/ext3 filesystems
Did you compile a new kernel with devfs enabled ? Do you want/need devfs ? Man lilo.conf should help, options for devfs=xxx. When you run lilo what is the output ?

It is before the partition is mounted. I think because the kernel has ext3 module, it checks during the boot process. I have put ext3 journals on both partitions and now I get similar, but opposite message(s) informing me that it found a journal. The partitions are mounted as ext3 filesystems. I ran across resources telling/warning that LILO can read ext3 filesystems, but not all boot loaders can. For some you have to create a tiny ext2 boot partition that the boot loader can read and then the other partitions can be anything the kernel, with modules, can read (though if the root partition is anything not compiled into the kernel, you have to use an initial ramdisk).

Jeffrey Jeffrey, lilo doesn't need to know about filesystems at boot time. At install time it creates a map of the files it needs in terms of physical disk addresses which it uses at boot. Grub, OTOH, has to grok filesystems at boot time. This is why you have to reinstall lilo if you make changes which invalidate lilo's system map, and also is why lilo is small and grub is big. ext3 filesystems can be mounted and read as ext2. The only difference on the filesystem itself is the presence of the journal. The poster's problem is the opposite. IMO, He is either trying to mount an ext2 as an ext3, or the filesystem is ext3 but the journal has been removed. Or something's messed with the fs features in the superblock, which seems unlikely to me. Just an amateur opinion, I'm no filesystem expert. -- paul It's working as coded. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
