Hi, I installed RH 7.2 with the original kernel and decided to use ext3 as the fs. All partitions are now ext3. This is working fine as long as I'm using the original kernels. Now I wanted to compile my own kernel (2.4.13), but there seems to be a problem. When it it tries to remount my root partition / in RW, I get an error message that the partition cannot be found. When I reboot using the original kernel I starts up without any problems again. What did I forget to do ? Is a kernelmodule missing, do I have to recreate the journal ? Thank you very much in advance... Best regards, Rob Hassing

To mount as ext2 I guess you'll need to change /etc/fstab to mount the root partition as ext2.

Have you got devfs in your new config? I've found that it seems to interact really badly with mount-by-label. Cheers, Stephen
