List members: I have now performed and analyzed the following things, and am still not able to boot with root in data=journal mode. (a) It ought be pointed out that before I tried to get the root to be able to boot up using data=journal logging, I was had an EXT3 root, and did boot fine in its default mode (which I understand is not data=journal mode) (b) I also checked using /proc/mount, and it yielded far less useful information than typing mount. It did show that all the partitions were in fact mounted as "EXT3", even root. (c) I then made sure that /etc/fstab had the "data=journal" option in the root partition entry. Then I verified that "rootflags=data=journal" was placed in the /etc/grub/grub.conf file properly, and rebooted. However, the same result occurred the "03:06" boot error...AGAIN!?! ARGH!!! I am not trying to call into question the integrity of EXT3, but this does not seem to work. And I must admit I am curious why the root partition cannot be made to operate in data=journal mode just because I choose to use an initrd?
