Sorry, you wrote ext2 right above it. Typically, boot is ext2, and ext2 has to be in the kernel at this stage. If you want ext3, you should compile in ext3 support into the kernel. (boot will load either way since ext3 is really ext2 with a journal). > >> > Does anyone know what's going on here? >> > >> do you have an initrd loading?

JM2C. Or, load an initrd. The way you have it now cannot boot. -- [email protected] mailing list
