When I boot from 10.3 x86_64 DVD or from the ext3 drive, I can mount

case it's due to a race condition.
I think you need a small /boot partition in ext2 format.

That would be a step a long way back in time. I thought slicing and
dicing a separate /boot partition went out with the need for steam
trains, when PC BIOS restrictions meant you couldn't boot from a
partition extending beyond the first 1024 cylinders. If the partition
is ext3, reiserfs or anything else, it doesn't matter and I suspect
jfs wouldn't be that immature. Having said that, there is a gremlin in
there somewhere.
Perhaps later this week I shall try a new 10.3 jfs install on a
relative's box currently running 10.0, we have a spare 160G IDE drive
sitting there ready.
This problem exist also ext3 -> reiserfs change, perhaps in every file
system change.
Man mkinitrd tels:
What should you do if the initrd is broken and you want to fix it
using
a chroot? I assume /mnt is your target root and /boot is
mounted
inside.
1. mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
2. chroot /mnt
3. mount /proc
4. mount /sys
5. mkinitrd
This worked in my 32 bit system.
Old times it was much simpler. :)
