The resson it's doing that is purely because the kernels are built on a machine that has an ext3 root fs. Have a look through the INSTALL_KIRKWOOD document, as it explains what configuration to set up. You need to supply the kernel parameter: rootfstype=ext2 to your boot string. _______________________________________________ ARMedslack mailing list [email protected] http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack
