The problem was the dumbass who specified the non-SMP kernel in grub.conf with SMP-compiled modules (me). For those who may wish to get this going themselves, here's my linuxrc: ---------- #!/bin/nash echo "Loading scsi_mod module" insmod /lib/scsi_mod.o echo "Loading sd_mod module" insmod /lib/sd_mod.o echo "Loading aic7xxx module" insmod /lib/aic7xxx.o echo "Loading jbd module" insmod /lib/jbd.o echo "Loading ext3 module" insmod /lib/ext3.o mount -t proc /proc /proc echo Mounting /proc filesystem echo Creating root device mkrootdev /dev/root echo 0x0100 > /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev umount /proc echo Mounting root filesystem realmount --ro -t ext3 /dev/root /sysroot -o data=journal pivot_root /sysroot /sysroot/initrd ---------- where realmount is my statically linked mount (in bin on the initrd). With this, and the option in /etc/fstab root mounts in data=journal mode just perfectly. Now to go see how happy my NFS users are going to be.... :) Thanks all! -Bill
