I have experienced the same problem with SuSE 7.3 - just in my case it was the disk 80:03 (sda3) .

The computer boots only after I have changed the fstab entry to mount the root system as ext2 - now I have a warning that I am mounting an ext3 system as ext2, but at least the kernel is not in panic.

I have exactly followed the update procedure, namely I have run mk_initrd and lilo (and both initrd files are now rebuilt).

I had no problem when mounting the filesystem in Tiny floppy linux Tomsrtbt.

I know that oficially ext3 was supported only in SuSE 8.0, but with the previous kernel (2.4.16) I had absolutely no problem.

sincerely
Vaclav Brunnhofer
