The first error message, as I recall, was mount: error 6 moounting ext3 The final error message was mount /initrd/dev failed 2 I should explain that the failure does not particularly worry me, as I never run distribution kernels in any case - I prefer to compile the latest kernel and use that. But it seemed to me worth pointing out that there was a problem upgrading from FC-2 to FC-3, and presumably there would have been the same problem but worse if a clean installtion of FC-3 had been tried (since there would have been no other kernels available). -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
