When multiposting, you have easier to see if       someone has replied, others will see if you got an answer and has the       possibility to give further help.                     Suggestions: Check that you did compile ext3 support.       Check that you did store the files on sda5 and not on a different slice.              Suggestion: Compile in everything you need for the boot process into the       kernel, then you don't have to use initrd and your bootup sequence will be       faster.                     --               //Aho              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
