But it is clear from the error message that it IS a kernel problem. It would seem that you only _think_ that you are mounting the root filesystem as ext3, because of output from "mount". Check what is in /proc/mounts to be sure. If you have ext3 as a module, then there is no problem in journaling other filesystems. > Andreas Dilger wrote: > On Apr 22, 2002 15:26 -0500, Rhett Gibson wrote: > > My specific error is: > > EXT2-fs: Unrecognized mount option data > ^^^^ note that your kernel is trying to mount the filesystem as ext2. > > Now wasn't that a lot easier to see what your problem is?
