Hi, There is some progress: - I have converted all ext2 partitions to ext3 (tune2fs -j) - I have replaced ext2 with ext3 in /etc/fstab - I have rebooted using the 2.2.5-mac kernel which comes with Debian Sarge, and which does indeed support ext3.
... but, after the first boot on the ext3 partitions, which succeeded, I decided to type the following command: shutdown -rF now ... to force the machine to check all the filesystems thoroughly. The machine rebooted with the 2.2.5-mac kernel, but then, to my surprise, I had yet another kernel panic: http://www.geocities.com/alexteclo/images/quadra700_03.jpg I rebooted again with the 2.2.5-mac kernel, and the checking of the ext3 filesystems started. It took some time, and it finished without any problems. Now, why is the 2.2.5-mac kernel from sarge crashing like that ? Any help would be appreciated, Alex
