hi, I have recently upgraded my kernel to 2.4.20-20.9. I am also running 2.4.20-8 (comes with rh9). Booting up using 2.4.20-8 works just fine, but when I boot with 2.4.20-20.9 rc.sysinit fails at the "Checking root filesystem" stage with rc of 8. I get the error message initlog -c 'fsck -T -a -C /' /dev/hda3 is mounted. e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting. My grub.conf looks fine, and if I go into repair mode, I can easily fix it all up then init 5 to get the machine up. Just won't do it from boot. I have searched the archives and google and have not found an answer to this. Thanks, Gillian -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
