I assume you have VMWare set up to use a raw partition? Because the vmware virtual disks (the ones that are one bg file, or split into 2GB) are strange files. Take one of your newer OSs, load the filesytem, make sure the journal is clean, unmount it, then mount it as ext2. If that works fine, then the Red Hat 7.3 kernel should be able to read it. I amnot aware of any strange changes made to ext2 that would make a newer version unreadable by a far older kernel (2.4.18). -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
