Subject: 2.6.0-test3 _still_ cannot mount root fs
Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2003 20:34:37 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000a01c3638e$2c7a6330$6401a8c0@wa1hco> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20030815132619.GB3695@www.13thfloor.at
Redhat's 2.4.20 will boot with root=/dev/hda3 pointing to an ext3
filesystem, without an initrd, with the following message
ext2fs warning (device IDE0(3,3) ) ext2_read_super: mounting ext3
filesystem as ext2
VFS: mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly
So I assumed that 2.6.0-test3 will also work with ext3 compiled as a module.
I tried the various suggestions root=/dev/hda3, root=0303, root=03:03
without any luck.
I then tested a suggestion that ext3 should get compiled in but get the same
results

Herbert's debug patch produced the same messages with ext3 compiled in.
Any suggestions for what to try next?
