I do it all the time, and it's the default filesystem for all Red Hat installs, so it's definitely not a problem inherent in all ext3 installs. > If you can tell me what > files I should look to (for debuging purposes), I would be pleased to do it. It's hard to know now that you seem to have it working. This sort of boot problem normally happens only when people get their boot configuration wrong, it's rare to see it on a complete fresh install unless you've left behind the relics of an old boot loader by, for example, installing the boot loader on the root filesystem while you've already got a boot loader set up on the master boot record. --Stephen _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
