Sorry for not replying fully before. I'm 900 miles from the machine in
question, so I had to get someone to transcribe for me. Here's a
transcription of the boot messages.
Loading jbd module
Journal Block Device driver loaded
Loading ext3 module
Mounting /proc filesystem
Creating root device
Mounting root filesystem
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot, /sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
Freeing unused kernel memory: 224k freed
Kernel panic: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel
>From the previous message, for both the working and non-working kernel,
root=/dev/sda2.
So the question still seems to be: What's "error 6 mounting ext3"?
Thanks.
