so let mae ask, is this 8.X or 7.x? what kernal are you booting and what
xfree version. next what keys do you use to go ack to the previous session (
[alt-f7] or [alt-f9] )? as I understand it, boot should work from ext3, there
are/were so problems under some conditions when a ReiserFS (or other journal
file systems) had problems booting when the journalFS is loaded as a modual
insteaed of complied in to the kernal
