Hi, for a RTlinux application I need to install a 2.4.0 kernel. prevoisly, my kernel 2.4.10 was supporting the ext3 fs and all my fs were under ext3. as 2.4.0 doesn't support ext3 I've got a problem to boot cause /proc is recognise as a ext3 fs and my kernel doesnt know how to mount it. what can I do and how to change back /proc to an ext2 fs thanks Fred _________________________________________________________ | | | Frederic CAZENAVE | | _/\_ /^= LTHE / IRD | | \_/ \// BP 53 | | | /-\ | 38041 Grenoble Cedex 9 | | || || France | | Tel 33 4 76 82 50 92 Fax 33 4 76 82 52 86 | | mailto:Frederic.Cazenave@hmg.inpg.fr | | http://www.lthe.hmg.inpg.from.fr/catch | |__________________________________________________________|

To mount an ext3 filesystem as ext2, all you need to do is to unmount it cleanly and then remount as ext2: no conversion is required. Changing the fs types in /etc/fstab to ext2 and then doing a clean reboot into 2.4.0 should work fine. Cheers, Stephen
Hi, I've made a patch for rtlinux3.1 on 2.4.16-Kernel (for i386-Systems) which includes already ext3. Its available on http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=27386 section rtl-patch.
