I want to change my SuSE 7.3 root filesystem to ext3 but am having trouble. Here is what I have done so far: 1. Added a journal to the file system: tune2fs -j /dev/hda7 2. Edited /etc/fstab to change the following line: /dev/hda7 / ext3 defaults 1 1 3. Edited /etc/cr.config as follows: INITRD_MODULES="jbd ext3 usbcore usb-uhci input hid keybdev mousedev e100" 4. Ran the following as root: mk_initrd lilo 5. Rebooted the system and received the following messages: <4>VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) ... snip ... <3>ext3: No journal on filesystem on ide(3,7) <4>VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. I looked at the SuSE Support Database and found http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/ext3_rootfs_73.html which said a new mk_initrd script was needed and gave a link that is broken: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/snwint/initrd/mk_initrd -- Robert C.

1. Added a journal to the file system:

Ok, ignore this plea for help. I figured out that my problem was with this first step. I needed to boot from the CD's rescue system to run this command. I must have missed seeing an error message the first time.
