i would try to break the problem into two problems.
first, disable the automatic mounting of the ntfs file-system(s), and see if you can boot into the new kernel with the ext3 partitions only. by the way, i assume that ext3 is compiled directly into the kernel, and NOT as a module. if this is not the case, change it to be compiled into the kernel, and re-compile the kernel (re-compile means 'make clean' and only then 'make') and then try again. if you got ext3 mounting to work with the new kernel, then try to _manually_ load the ntfs.o module, and manually mount _IN READ-ONLY MODE_ an NTFS partition - see if that works. only after you manage to get this working - try to handle automatic mounting during boot. --guy > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2003 11:07:02 +0200 > From: yacoub <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Haifux] Errors when Compiling 2.4.22 with modules > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > >Baruch, > >Yacoub could not read your question, I expect, because he is not > >subscribed to haifux.
