This is odd. I don't believe the device-mapper bug that I want to blame the problem on was that persistent. Are there any other errors in the syslog besides the XT_GETPAGE ones? It's odd that you ran with this kernel for some time, and now you can't even mount. Maybe run memtest86 to make sure it's not flaky hardware? > Went thru 4 cycles of fsck and reboot to single user mode, with no > difference.

If fsck had trouble figuring out it needed to call jfs_fsck, it would have been obvious. > I had to run jfs_fsck -f 3 times to fix it, and reboot before I > had a writeable root.

I'm assuming both kernels were built with identical .config files? No initrd issues? Maybe it would be easier to boot from a live-cd. -- David Kleikamp IBM Linux Technology Center ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
