RE: [Siglinux] New Kernel ext3 issues

[Craig Williams]

Get the alan cox patch (like sunsite/linux/people/alan) for the 2.4.13 kernel.  I'm assuming your using rh 7.2..I had the same prob seems you Have to have ext3 support built in inorder to boot it..Its eaisly patched..   Letme know if you have a prob :)   craig     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Spencer Ogden Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 1:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Siglinux] New Kernel ext3 issues   I am trying to escape from the swap storm hell that is 2.4.8 ( I assume that is what is happening when the HD is churning, then X gets less responsive, then finally no response, and no slowdown in HD churning after 10-15 minutes, finally hard rebooting).   So I have compiled 2.4.13. Everything seems fine, except when I boot I get a Kernel Panic saying that it can't mount the root ext2 partition due to extra options. The root is ext3, but I was under the impression that ext3 could be booted as ext2 with just a loss of Journalling features. Where should I start to look for answers? Should I patch the kernel for ext3 support?   Spencer   _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
