My systems hangs completely. Not even the kernel is running. But the system freeze seems to depend on something else. I can use any of my opartitions as ext3. But as far there is another system parttion (one on which / or /home or /usr or /var live) involved, the system freezes. > > Can I turn ext3 off and revert to ext2 by simplying change my fstab > file, or is life not that simple?
