I apparently do have ext3 around as a module. This is an endemic knoppix problem, apparently, since I am not the only one to have gotten that "mounting ext3 as ext2" warning after making the switch.
I need some hand-holding to get it either in an initrd (putting ext3 in the mkinitrd/modules file and running mkinitrd gives me its help list only and does nothing) or to compile it into the kernel itself. I have a recent, Knoppix 3.3 HD installation, Debian 2.4.2.2 SID ======== Here is the .conf file: # /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf: # Configuration file for mkinitrd(8). See mkinitrd.conf(5). # # This file is meant to be parsed as a shell script. # What modules to install. MODULES=most # The length (in seconds) of the startup delay during which linuxrc may be # interrupted. DELAY=0 # If this is set to probe mkinitrd will try to figure out what's needed to # mount the root file system. This is equivalent to the old PROBE=on setting. ROOT=probe #[MY COMMENT--man says this should pull the 'ext3' from the fstab entry!] # This controls the permission of the resulting initrd image. UMASK=022 # Command to generate the initrd image. MKIMAGE='mkcramfs %s %s > /dev/null' # Set this to yes if you want to use busybox(1). BUSYBOX=no # Set this to no if you want to disable /usr/share/initrd-tools/scripts. PKGSCRIPTS=yes ======= Here is the modules file which originally has no uncommented entries: # /etc/mkinitrd/modules: Kernel modules to load for initrd. # # This file should contain the names of kernel modules and their arguments # (if any) that are needed to mount the root file system, one per line. # Comments begin with a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored. # # You must run mkinitrd(8) to effect this change. # # Examples: # # ext2 # wd io=0x300 ext3 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
