make sure /etc/fstab mentions ext3 and not ext2. run $ lilo if you use lilo. otherwise use the grub thing I mentioned.

I have some file systems converted but / and /boot are not. I downloaded the new mk_initrd listed on the SuSE web site, support database but still not able to covert / and /boot to ext3. What did I miss?

$ tune2fs -j /dev/hda6 tune2fs 1.24a (02-Sep-2001) Creating journal inode: tune2fs: Permission denied while trying to create journal file

However both show a .journal file

-rw------- 1 root root 8388608 Dec 31 21:29 /.journal -rw------- 1 root root 1048576 Dec 31 21:45 /boot/.journal

$ mount /dev/hda6 on / type auto (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/hda9 on /opt type ext3 (rw) /dev/hda8 on /usr type ext3 (rw) /dev/hda7 on /home type ext3 (rw) /dev/hda3 on /hda3 type msdos (rw) /dev/hda5 on /boot type ext2 (rw) /dev/hda2 on /hda2 type msdos (rw) /dev/hda11 on /hda11 type ext3 (rw) shmfs on /dev/shm type shm (rw) usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)

I added the jbd ext3 rtl8139 modules, ran mk_initrd again but didn't fix problem

$ cat /etc/rc.config | grep INITRD_MODULES INITRD_MODULES="g_NCR5380 tulip usbcore jbd ext3 rtl8139"

once again thanks
