I have kernel 2.4.16 with ext3 compiled (not as a module), with redhat 7.1, and downloaded lilo 22.1 from util-linux 2.11n but still, on init the root fs is mounted initially as ext2 as read-only, afterwards it is unmounted and mounted again as read-write ext3. this causes problems upon unclean shutdown where I have to fsck it just like ext2. does anyone know this problem ?
