For 2.4, you only need jbd then ext3. For 2.6 (which is "reasonably" stable, and ext3 scales much better :), you need mbcache then jbd then ext3. You don't need anything else, unless the block device your "/" lives on is also build as modules. Why not take the large initrd image and just "remove stuff"(tm) till lilo will take it? Or just try grub.. _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
