Yes, lsmod shows ext3 (oh well ...) I can convert /boot to ext3 and after reboot it shows up as ext3 But this is where I'm a bit lost?!?!? Why should /boot be able to be mounted ext3 if it is mounted during boot and / gets mounted after? Or am I completely wrong about how /boot works? (Does /boot get dismounted then remounted - so ext3 is useless?) Anyway ... anyone else know a HOWTO or know how to get / mounted ext3 when it is a module and not in the kernel - 2.4.9-12 from RedHat? And please don't say with a floppy disk :-) -- -Cheers -Andrew MS ... if only he hadn't been hang gliding! _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
