Thanks for you help. I tried both suggestions, and neither seems to be correct.
Also, I compiled all the file systems/drivers into the kernel I'm using. -----Original Message----- From: uml [mailto:uml] On Behalf Of Jacques Nilo Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 2:49 PM To: Douglas Bush Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Problems with Bering Beta 4 root.linuxrc Douglas Bush wrote: > I'm using LEAF Bering in a way it probably wasn't intended, but its got > just the right level of features for what we're doing. > > I'm using x86 Embedded PCs from http://www.compulab-systems.com.

Doug: I suspect it did not worked because you did not load the ext2.o module. Ext2 FS is not compiled in the kernel. Also if yo want to read packages stored on a ext2 FS you have to put the module in /boot/lib/modules. See the doc. So put ext2.o it in /boot/lib/modules and edit /boot/etc/modules to declare it through initrd config menu. Save initrd and reboot.
