When I boot from 10.3 x86_64 DVD or from the ext3 drive, I can mount the jfs partition, also chroot works. In rescue mkinitrd also says the jfs module is included. I may try with jfs in front of ext3 in case it's due to a race condition.
I think you need a small /boot partition in ext2 format.

That would be a step a long way back in time. I thought slicing and dicing a separate /boot partition went out with the need for steam trains, when PC BIOS restrictions meant you couldn't boot from a partition extending beyond the first 1024 cylinders. If the partition is ext3, reiserfs or anything else, it doesn't matter and I suspect jfs wouldn't be that immature. Having said that, there is a gremlin in there somewhere. Perhaps later this week I shall try a new 10.3 jfs install on a relative's box currently running 10.0, we have a spare 160G IDE drive sitting there ready.
This problem exist also ext3 -> reiserfs change, perhaps in every file system change. Man mkinitrd tels: What should you do if the initrd is broken and you want to fix it using a chroot? I assume /mnt is your target root and /boot is mounted inside. 1. mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev 2. chroot /mnt 3. mount /proc 4. mount /sys 5. mkinitrd This worked in my 32 bit system. Old times it was much simpler. :) -- Viljo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
