I might be off on this...because I don't completely understand the question...but....
If the issue is that your root partition is setup in fstab to be ext3 but when you reboot it is still treated as ext2, then the way I resolved this problem was to cd /boot then create a fresh initrd using mkinitrd. Make sure that the new initrd is associated with your kernel in /etc/lilo.conf, type lilo and reboot. --- guran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Saturday 15 December 2001 12:25 am, guran wrote: > > My interpretation is that hda7 (formatted as ext3) > is mounted as ext2 (VFS), > because that was done from hd.img during > installation. hda6, hda8 and hda9 > are correctly mounted as ext3. > > The end_request might be that the program has found > the ext3-journal above > the end mark of the assumed ext2 partition, and this > is interpreted as a > removable type of memory, thus floppy. > > only guessing > guran > > > Hi > > > > VERSION Mandrake Linux Cooker-i586 20011214 5:04 > > > > devfs with kdebase-nsplugins. > > > > This is from dmesg: > > ... > > Freeing initrd memory: 81k freed > > VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). > > Mounted devfs on /dev > > Journalled Block Device driver loaded > > kjournald starting.
