My specific error is: EXT2-fs: Unrecognized mount option data Kernel Panic:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on 01:00 -----Original Message----- From: Rhett Gibson [mailto:rhett@hdinfo.com] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 2:30 PM To: 'ext3-users@redhat.com' Subject: RE: Question about Journaling Root Filesystem. It was a typo. My grub configuration file is: title Red Hat Linux (2.4.7-10) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=/dev/hda6 rootflags=data=journal initrd /initrd-2.4.7-10.img If I try to boot with this configuration I get a kernel panic.

I am trying to use data=journal on my root file system. I have separate slices on which journal=data works fine on all of them, except root. I have tried putting rootflags=journal=data on my kernel line in Grub, but I get a kernel panic. I'm missing something simple, I jut know it. It can't be the kernel version because it works on the other slices. My etc/fstab file is as follows: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 data=journal 1 2 LABEL=/data /data ext3 data=journal 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 LABEL=/home /home ext3 data=journal 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 data=journal 1 2 LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 data=journal 1 2 /dev/hda7 swap swap defaults 0 0
