   Don't multipost, it's a bad way to do things, if you have to post something to   
   more than to one newsgroup, then do a cross post (similar to email cc), to a   
   handful relevant newsgroups. 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.
