i've verified all of that, and i am still baffled. the only major difference is that the original 2.4.18-14 kernel has ext3 support as a module and uses an initrd.img file referenced from /etc grub.conf, while my new 2.4.20-2.2 kernel has ext3 support compiled into the kernel and no initrd line in grub.conf. i see no reason for that to make a difference. both kernel entries in grub.conf use the "root=LABEL=/" syntax. the earlier kernel boots fine, the newer kernel fails and requires me to edit the kernel line and substitute "root=/dev/hda1". still wondering what to try next to isolate this ... rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
