Hi,

Does anyone have a recipe for booting the 2.4.17 kernel(or any vanilla kernel) 
in SuSE 7.3, and successfully loading ext3 as the root file system? I suppose 
you can't use the mk_initrd script then?

When I try to load the 2.4.17 from Lilo at bootup I just get a black screen. 
In Grub I get "VFS: Kernel Panic Unable to mount root fs".

Regards,

Jostein

Besides a possilbe misconfiguration of kernel sources, probably you are missing quantity of Initial RAM Disk (initrd)
at kernel config at Block devices/RAM disk support/Default RAM Disk size ---->>> put 64000.

And as "root fs", I think ext3 is still a bit unstable; try using Reiserfs if you want to use a real Journalling file system.

Regards,
Alejandro.
