From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT) Description of problem: System hangs on bootup since ext3 module is compiled into ram disk Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create initrd with mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.7-2.img 2.4.7-2 2. Substitute entries in /etc/fstab with ext3 3. Reboot Actual Results: System hangs after loading the ext3 modules (ext, jbd) with: pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot, /sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init=option to kernel. Expected Results: Normal startup with / journalled. Additional info: - I don't think there's a problem with initrd, since Ram Disk is found and the appropriated modules are loaded. - I have to mount my installation in rescue mode to delete /boot/initrd- 2.4.7-2.img from lilo configuration. After this everything works fine. - Other filesystems in my system are mounted with journalled function.
