Load the kernel-source rpm from the distribution CDs and build that. It's on Red Hat Linux 7.3 CD 2 under /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS. The file name is kernel-source-2.4.18-3.i386.rpm. That way you will have the same patches applied that were in the original kernel. The default kernel builds and installs fine on my systems. I have never seen these messages from ext3. Are you building with ext3 in a module instead of in the kernel? I don't know if the root filesystem's support must be in the kernel, but I would try it with ext3 selected to go into the kernel. I've never tried it as a module. Good luck, Ed ---------------------------------------------------------------- Ed Vance edv (at) macrolink (dot) com Macrolink, Inc. 1500 N.
