Just curious...did you also include jbd.ko in your initrd? Plus, if you're building the initrd by hand, you need to load the modules (in the proper order, as I think only insmod -- not modprobe -- is available) in your linuxrc. Or maybe it's the 'init' script these days. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.
