What would I have to do in the latter case? I've searched around in
the archives, basically with the result to have initrd-tools
installed. Fine, but what then? Could anyone provide step-by-step
information? I'm a little bewildered because I can't boot my root
partition with ext3, and 2.4.18-386, which is supposedly the most
compatible 2.4.18 kernel in woody. On another machine using
2.4.18-686 everything works flawlessly.
