Gnu iBook 2
But it will not go to ext3 when I boot from the hd. In spite of specifying ext3 in /etc/fstab, it still boots to ext2. The other partition boots to ext3, so the modules are there, they are just not being used for the / partition.
I have them compiled into the kernel now but I got it working at one point with modules by doing the follow: (1) Make a directory called /initrd. (2) Download the Redhat source rpm for mkinitrd and compile it (I could never get it working with SuSE's mk_initrd). (3) Make the initrd imagine. I believe the command is: mkinitrd --preload=jdb --preload=ext3 image_name kernel_version Consult the manpage. (4) Put the appropriate line in lilo in the correct section, ie: initrd=/boot/image_name and run lilo (5) Reboot and you should be done.
