[TriLUG] HELP!

[Andy Hart]

Tanner,
   Thanks, but now I'm a little confused. I'm not sure where/how to compile
in ext3 support. I looked in the config (make xconfig) but did not find it
there. What do I do different?

- Andy

It seems to think you're using ext3.  Did you make sure
that either ext3 support is compiled into the kernel, or
that it is present in the initrd file (if you're using initrd,
which, from the following line, it appears you are)?

Did you create a new initrd file?  (man mkinitrd for
more info)

Yep, I agree.  Your system is trying to mount an ext3 filesystem
but doesn't know how.  See above for how to fix.
