I have tried everything to compile a new kernel on my 7.2 base system. I have used 2.4.13-ac6 and 2.4.13 w/ ext3 patch. I have compiled with ext3 built-in and with ext3 as module (with the initrd). I have a SCSI system so I have done the previous variations with both SCSI support built-in and modular (with the initrd). The error I get is: Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode: mount: no such partition found The previous messages show that the root directory is properly mounted as ext2 initially and that ext3 is loaded with kjournald running. What can I do? I have searched all archives and tried everything. Need more info or does someone know what it is? I am not on this list so please email me directly. Thanks for the help -nate __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Find a job, post your resume. http://careers.yahoo.com

I think. Please run `tune2fs -j' against the root filesystem's device node to turn it into ext3, and statically link ext3 into the kernel. If that doesn't work, please send the first 30 lines of `dumpe2fs /dev/hdXX' (where hdXX is the root partition) and also the relevant boot-time messages.

Removing the LABEL *or* recompiling the kernel without DEVFS support solved my problem.

Mount-by-label gets confused by devfs since with devfs enabled, the /proc/partitions file contains non-existant device filenames for all filesystems (whoops). Cheers, Stephen
