Nope. That's how you support it. It's part of the default kernel from RH. 2.4.7-10 has the patches installed already. That's why the default works.
I'd recommend doing this (I've done what you did so I learned the hard way!): To clean your trashed setup: rm /boot/*version.number.number* --> verify each file should be deleted cd /lib/modules rm -Rf version.number.number-extension --> BE VERY CAREFUL HERE. Make sure it's the right one To create your new kernel: cd /usr/src/linux cp .config ../.config.current --> saves your .config file make mrproper cp ../.config.current .config vi Makefile --> add extension here on 4th line "Extension" make oldconfig --> answer any questions that "may" popup make xconfig --> verify your settings and make sure ext3 is supported (NO MODULE!) make dep clean bzImage cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-version.number.number-extension make modules make modules_install cp System.map /boot/System.map-version.number.number-extension mkinitrd /boot/initrd-version.number.number-extension.img version.number.number edit /etc/lilo.conf --> verify it is setup correctly lilo -v sync sync reboot Choose your new kernel and make sure it boots happily! -----Original Message----- From: Andy Hart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 9:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [TriLUG] HELP!

Tanner, Thanks, but now I'm a little confused. I'm not sure where/how to compile in ext3 support. I looked in the config (make xconfig) but did not find it there.

Did you make sure that either ext3 support is compiled into the kernel, or that it is present in the initrd file (if you're using initrd, which, from the following line, it appears you are)? Did you create a new initrd file? (man mkinitrd for more info) > > pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) fail 2 > > freeing unused kernel memory: 228k freed > > kernel panic: no init found.

Your system is trying to mount an ext3 filesystem but doesn't know how. See above for how to fix.
