-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks - Next problem. Using current Fedora kernel. Custom initrd has the ext3 and jbd modules, installs them, and is able to mount an ext3 partition, all inside the initrd. That's great. At the end of the initrd script, Linux wants to mount the root filesystem again, okay, BUT the Redhat kernel does not have ext3 compiled in, its as a module. This shouldn't matter because the initrd has loaded the jbd and ext3 modules. Yet despite this the kernel is unable to mount the same ext3 filesystem that the initrd was, apparently because ext3 was not compiled in and is 'not on its list'. It instead mounts it as ext2 and then blows up later in /etc/rc.sysinit when that tries fsck on it. The kernel commandline rootfs=ext3 has no effect. Any clues as to how Redhat manage to mount ext3 root filesystems or what is wrong with my picture? - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/0dQNjKeDCxMJCTIRAkhIAJ4uNx8YG+cbE+N6iS2mFSm3/iOtPACfVbv9 NcOgHrj6Z+5+rHFLitJBsqM= =xt57 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
