Hi, I am running RH 9.0 with Grub. I just added an additional "old" drive from another system which has Win98 (fat32) and RH 7.2 (ext2) installed. However, now when I boot up, I am getting the following errors: ext3: No journal on filesystem ide3(34,7) mount: error 22 mounting ext3 pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 umount /initrd/proc failed: 2 Freeing unused kernel memory: 132k freed Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel My assumption is that ext3 doesn't recognize the partitions on the additional drive, but how do I convert the ext2 to ext3 if the system won't boot past the kernel. Thanks in advance for your help. Andrew Chen

Nik, Thanks for your suggestion. I wish it was just a simple jumper mis-configuration. The new drive is on a separate IDE controller, all by itself, so there's no problem with the jumper settings. Everything works as expected when I boot using Windows. Any other ideas? -----Original Message----- From: nicola [mailto:nicola]On Behalf Of Nik Sent: Thursday, May 01, 2003 3:42 PM To: Andrew Chen Cc: Stephen C.

The original drive should have the jumpers set to "Master", the RH7.2 one on "slave".
