Eric,

Which kernel module ? I am using initrd_ide.lrp. 

Does initrd_ide.lrp include all the necessary modules
?

I did a few experiments with it. What I found are: 

1) mount /dev/hda1 /mnt on an existing/working Linux
(83) partition 

> Mounting /dev/hda1 on /mnt failed: Invalid argument

2) mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt

> Mounting /dev/hda1 on /mnt failed:  No such device

Note that /dev/hda1 is an existing/working Linux ext2
FS.

3. I "lrpkg -i hdsupp" and then did a fsck.ext2 on
/dev/hda1. It worked fine as I expected - implies the
FS on hda1 is an ext2. 

4. I got a new disk and did a fdisk to create a new
partition. If I label it fat16 and do a mkfs.msdos on
it, I can  "mount /dev/hda1 /mnt or mount -t msdos
/dev/hda1 /mnt" - no problem. It also works fine with
a new vfat or  minix partition too. 
If I re-label the same partition as Linux partition
i.e. 83 and do  mkfs.ext2, surprisingly I can "mount
/dev/hda1 /mnt" correctly. However, the same trick
works only sometimes. Why ? Note that this is a new
fdisk not the existing Linux partition.  
 
I need to mount an existing/working Linux partition. 

Any hint ?

Thank you for your help.
